“Joe Graham’s training was very good — thorough and precise. He made it a calming environment which helped us relax during the training.” — Matthew Hattee (Portakabin)

“The course was brilliant from start to finish and settled my nerves. The instructor was amazing — he supported me throughout. Genuine top bloke, a credit to Ainscough Training.” — Mark Robinson (Severfield)

“Joe was excellent. On the first day he made everyone welcome and feel at ease. He helped us with anything we needed and kept me calm — which helped a lot, because I don’t do well in test conditions. He’s a top fella.” — Maximillion King (Severfield)
