Helen Howard
Helen Howard, our founder, is an accountant (ACMA and CGMA), Certified Learning Practitioner and a member of the British Institute for Learning & Development. Before moving into the world of learning and development, Helen worked for a global pharmaceutical business, gently guiding budget holders in the right direction.
In her spare time, she is a busy mum of two, a keen vegetable grower, a scuba diving instructor and an enthusiastic (but not very impressive) runner.

Elizabeth Britton
Elizabeth Britton is an accountant (ACMA and CGMA) and trained facilitator. In her life before training, she held a number of senior financial roles for a large energy company, gaining a breadth of experience that has been invaluable to her since moving into the learning environment.
Elizabeth is an aspirational skier, opting for slow and stylish over speed. She enjoys the gym, which allows her to indulge in another of her favourite pastimes: working her way around her local restaurants.

Steve Berry
Steve keeps trying to retire but we are constantly dragging him back to work. He’s a former banker, CFO and international MBA lecturer in business strategy. An author of three books, he has spoken at business conferences on four continents.
His spare time pursuits are multifarious – from enjoying wines to training youth workers and vicars whilst generally trying to keep track of what his 3 children are doing (Law, Psychology and Medicine – so quite a bit).

Ian Glenister
Ian Glenister holds an MBA and a list of project management and British Psychological Society qualifications too numerous to list. Ian started out in the pensions industry before moving to a construction services business, where he was a director for a few years. He then turned to training and coaching as a career.
Ian has a passion for travel and has scuba dived all over the world. When at home in the UK, he is a keen squash player and runner.

Phil Renshaw
Phil Renshaw PhD is an ACC accredited coach with the ICF and holds the professional treasury and banking qualifications. Phil worked in investment banking as well as in Corporate Finance and as a Finance Director in the IT services sector. He is widely published including his new book, Coaching On the Go.
When he’s not busy working, Phil can be spotted travelling around the country in a VW campervan.

Sarah Coughlin
Sarah Coughlin is our training administrator, responsible for making sure that everything happens perfectly with our training logistics and admin. Before working with us, Sarah was a primary school teacher.
Outside of work, Sarah enjoys her family life along with swimming, yoga, zumba and renovating her house, but not necessarily all at the same time.

Excellent – I’m amazed by how much I’ve learnt about the accounts and how they can be used in decision making.
The course was full of valuable information, loved the format of cards on the floor, made it easier to see/understand.
I’ve been working with Helen for over 2 years now and she has been working with Eurostar for over 5. She designs and delivers customised workshops for our senior leaders and managers. Helen is a true expert in her field and her ability to turn Finance and Business Cases concepts and tools into engaging and thought-provoking session for managers and leaders is greatly appreciated and receives consistent excellent feedback. She is easy to work with, always going the extra mile and combines the right balance between being friendly and assertive as a subject matter expert. I highly recommend her services.
The Trainers understand our business and needs so well that it is like they are part of our team rather than external Trainers.
I am getting more involved with the financial elements of projects and this has given me far more confidence in that respect. The trainer was very open and approachable.
The course was really beneficial in helping me gain a greater understanding when talking to my colleagues.
I have a much better understanding of Greene King’s finances.
The practical nature of this course was extremely helpful and incredibly well focused to our needs, engaging me from beginning to end.
Use of real life internal examples was very helpful. Will make loan decisions easier.
Helen has been a consummate professional and committed member of our contracted delivery team for many years, well respected by those who work with her and admired by the graduates she tutors. Helen’s industry knowledge and memory skills never fail to impress! It has been a pleasure to work with her throughout.
