Rather than blowing our own trumpet, here's what some of our clients have to say...
“Appointing new, untried managers can be fraught with difficulty. NAVEM provides a solid foundation and prepares the new manager for the realities of their position. My two most recently appointed managers undertook this course. They felt both challenged and enlightened by the training and returned to us enthused and confident about the future. It has turned out to be excellent preparation for their new roles.
NAVEM have come up with a concise, cost- and time-effective course which is relevant to anyone with responsibility for staff.”

“I worked with Nick Reeve for 17 years at Sky TV. We both joined prior to launch and were given four weeks to create our respective departments. Nick achieved this with great aplomb and it came as no surprise that a new, more senior role was created for him.
His management style proved extremely successful both with his staff and his superiors. His grasp of the bigger picture and his ease of communication at all levels made him a most valued and trusted colleague. His opinion was sought by many of his peers, often acting as unofficial consultant. He was also responsible for the hiring, training and development of his staff. He was instrumental in the setting up of the company's scholarship scheme and enjoyed great success lecturing at various universities and colleges resulting in many graduates joining Sky.
We often commented on how new management appointments lacked leadership skills and were expected to perform immediately; often they were thrown in at the deep end - as were we. Nick has identified a need for new manager training and given his experience and success in this field, I consider him eminently qualified to provide suitable courses to ease the transition into managerial roles.”

“After taking over responsibility for my department, Nick Reeve's first action was to appoint me as manager. I had no previous experience in management but Nick obviously saw something in me that he could work with. His thoughtful mentoring empowered me to manage a department that grew to enjoy a successful reputation within the company and the industry as a whole.
I was one of several managers reporting to Nick, most of them new to their roles. His management style proved both popular and successful. His astute advice has certainly contributed to my personal success and that of my department. I would have no hesitation in engaging Nick to train any of my future new managers.”
