Office life without dogs < office life with dogs! 🐕

We're so lucky to be able to bring our pups to work, and it's great when our learners get a chance to meet them too! 💚

We had the pleasure of meeting Milo at Ouch Learning and Development in Wimborne recently - easily the most charming team member we’ve met this month! 🐶

The best meetings come with wagging tails... What do you think? 😎

Have a great week everyone!

Today, we pause to remember.

Remembrance Day is a time to honour the courage and sacrifice of those who served, and continue to serve. 💚

Our Managing Director began his career in the army, and many of our trainers bring their military experience into the work we do every day. 🌱

Their commitment to discipline, resilience, and teamwork shapes the way we deliver work, helping organisations stay safe, compliant, and prepared. 🦺

We remember. We respect. We continue the mission.
