Meet the team

Everyone in Training for Advancement is important to our business and plays a major part in servicing and supporting our client accounts. We all work as a team and strive to provide nothing short of excellence for our clients. Here is a short synopsis of each person’s contribution:

Phil Tipton - Chairman

Phil provides the grey hair and scar tissue needed to keep the business on an even keel.

Anne Nash - Managing Director

Anne’s the one with the vision and focus to lead the Training for Advancement team boldly into the future.

Shirley Bickerton -
Company Secretary/Finance Manager

This lady keeps us on the straight and narrow (and makes sure the team gets paid at the end of each month!)

Louise Boyling - Client Service Manager

Let’s just say that Louise is a bit obsessive about detail, and has a particular passion for e-learning, systems and supply chain operations.

David Green - Client Service Manager

No project is too great for this man - impossible is not in his vocabulary.

Melanie James - Client Service Manager/ Operations Manager

Mel is an Innovation Champion and an advocate for ’best practice’ - the ideal match for clients who need a creative solution that gets results.

Julie Foy - Training Consultant

Julie’s organisational skills are second to none, which is great for our clients (and team nights out!)

Phil Lion - Training Consultant

An advocate for perfectionism, Phil’s personality is perfectly reflected by his working style.

David Knowles - Business Systems Manager

David’s our technical whizz. He’s fluent in computer ’speak’, but not at all nerdy!

Tracey Thake - Marketing Executive

Tracey takes care of the Training for Advancement brand whilst simultaneously keeping the office amused with her random sense of humour.

Michelle Hitchen - Digital Artist/IT Support Technician

Michelle’s attention to detail and methodical approach to tasks come in handy as she divides her time between DTP activity, IT support and creative design.

Client Administration

Julie, Chris and Cheryl are expert multi-taskers, providing invaluable client support to ensure a seamless service. (They do a pretty good job of looking after the Training for Advancement team too!)

Desktop Publishing

Julie is our mistress of design; transforming 2-dimensional concepts into works of art.
