On Spence Associates
Provider description
Spence Associates comprises a core team of ten consultants all of whom have held senior management positions within large organisations covering sales, marketing, HR, operations and finance. This breadth of experience and knowledge means we are well placed to deliver practical solutions in a manner our clients can relate to and benefit from immediately. We also have arrangements with a select number of international consultants, based in mainland Europe, with the ability to deliver programmes in a choice of languages. With offices and support staff in Winchester and in the Midlands the business is ideally situated to work with clients throughout the UK as well as around the Globe.
Spence Associates was founded in 1993 by Managing Partner, Doug Spence. After beginning his career with Rolls Royce, Doug spent 11 years with the Mars Corporation holding senior European and international sales and general management roles within the four main divisions of the Group.
Doug still works in the business specialising in senior management development and one-to-one coaching
Our common sense approach ensures that, rather than duplicating previous programmes, we complement and build upon what has been achieved already.
We focus on the fundamentals, allowing people to learn them today, apply them tomorrow and benefit from them continually.
Our experience tells us that people respond best to training if it directly relates to their job function so, instead of overloading delegates with theory, we ensure that each principle is related to a real-life example and that delegates leave the programme with a set of action points to boost individual and team effectiveness.
And, because we appreciate that any training input needs to be applied to be successful, our efforts focus not only on delivery, but also on assisting clients to ensure new skills and disciplines are implemented on a daily basis.
