NOV8

History

NOV8 was founded in 2002 by Ellie Oakes. Ellie, a qualified accountant ,was fascinated by the relationship between finance and non-finance and left corporate life to "do something about it!" She was soon designing and delivering in-company training courses for non-finance people and from this "Funky Finance" was born. Not satisfied with transforming how people think, feel and behave around finance, Ellie and her team now work with organisations and individuals transforming culture, relationships and behaviour. They do this by operating at a values and beliefs level rather than looking at skills and knowledge (important though they are!) NOV8's base is in Chippenham, Wilts, although Ellie and her team work with companies all over the UK. Their clients include John Lewis, Jungheinrich, Battersea Dogs Home, UIA Insurance, 2Entertain and Warburtons.

Advantages of studying here

Attending a NOV8 course is an unforgettable experience. That's because NOV8 work at a values and beliefs level - the only way to really make a difference. Of course during Finance courses people learn the fundamentals of finance and gain new skills and knowledge - but it goes deeper than this. NOV8 tackles the underlying beliefs that people often have about finance "finance is difficult, boring and gets in the way of the real job" "I'm just no good with numbers" "I was useless at Maths at school" and shows that finance is fascinating, dynamic and that everyone has a role in writing, steering and delivering a compelling joined-up finance story. Below are some of the things people say about NOV8:"Very professional and entertaining""It was delivered in a fun way and we weren't scared to ask questions""Excellent, well structured and very engaging""Very practical and easy to grasp""Professional and engaging delivery"
