TESTIMONIALS
What Our Clients Say
Jo Perry
“Ron provided Zespri with advanced financial training last year. He was professional at all times and took full responsibility for the quality of the programme.
Ron was careful to tailor his content to suit the varying ability levels of the participants and he remained open throughout to feedback/cues from his audience as to pace, level of delivery.
Extensive written material was provided. Ron also took some time before the programme to gain a deeper understanding of our business before coaching staff”.
