Timian were accommodating from first contact. During the train-the-trainer session, the trainer took time to understand how to make it work for our needs. In the run-up to delivering my first course, the support from Mark and James was fantastic - and they've stayed on hand for anything I need since.
We've already noticed people are more supportive of each other, with far less of a 'blame culture' when things don't go to plan. I've also had feedback from staff who've put the SPACED techniques into practice - they found situations were defused more quickly and calmly than would have happened before.
