About us

Renée Wallen BSc (Hons) DipELS CertSS CertHm

Renée offers expertise across a broad field, with several years’ experience in corporate sales and retail buying.  She has spent the past twelve years working with local authority staff and teaching at an adult education institute.  She specialises in training people in written English skills, including correct use of grammar, punctuation and sentence structure. Her client base includes various councils, housing and health authorities, education bodies, an examination board and range of private companies.  She has successfully helped organisations to gain quality awards such as Charter Mark, Investors in People, ISO 9002 and Best Value status.   

Gordon A Hobbs

Gordon’s commercial background was in retail management, with a strong leaning towards staff training.  Then, about twelve years ago, he reinvented himself and set up his own direct-service business.  The experience he’s since gained offering a service to the local community has been invaluable, complementing the more structured principles around which he learned to manage people within business.  He now considers himself a true all-rounder.  Over the last few years, Gordon has also turned his hand to creative writing in its various forms, with several poems accepted for publication and a book on the way. He is also active in speech-writing and presentation, including coaching, as well as developing a range of innovative training sessions. 

Mark Norden ACA

Mark has been a qualified member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England & Wales since 1989.  He has a broad range of experience in the accountancy world, from working for the world’s largest accountancy practice to running his own successful practice – and from the UK to Bermuda.  Mark has also owned and run a number of commercial businesses, including an independent record label, a Salsa mail order company, and a video editing organisation.  With this variety of experience and his positive outlook on life and business, he is able to provide a complete business consultancy package to clients.

Testimonials

Renée has a very relaxed style and is able to get on with colleagues at all levels.  She is able to engage very diverse audiences when training, which she delivers in a very user-friendly way.  I am more than happy to talk to any potential clients…

… delegates came away from the training sessions with vital new skills and a better understanding of how they could communicate more clearly…  Renée was able to run these sessions in such a way as to make them both informative and enjoyable.
I was remarkably impressed with Renee’s professionalism and expertise …and can honestly say that she helped us achieve 100% of the targets we had set ourselves. 
I would have no hesitation in recommending her… 
Francis Dixon, c/o IDeA

Not only does Gordon have extensive knowledge of the commercial world, but being creative by nature, is perfectly capable of original thought, which is often laced with humour. 
… what he writes is sharply observed, entertaining, motivational and well presented. It will be of interest to anyone looking to increase their understanding of the ‘workplace’ or improve their business in general.
David Shone, MD, Emson-Haig,  ‘Independent jewellery retailer of the year’

Poetry week certainly was a great success and we look forward to working with you again next year... the children were very inspired.
Roz Levin, London Borough of Redbridge primary school
