Listed in the ‘100 Best Business Speakers in Britain’, Jeff was formerly UK Managing Director of a leading international recruitment consultancy and Business Manager to Sir Clive Woodward. Jeff is now an independent business consultant specialising in leadership, people management, team building, peak performance, recruitment and retention issues.

 

“Just a quick note to you and all your colleagues for another excellent and stimulating breakfast presentation. Jeff Grout’s mastery and enthusiam for the subject of creating high performance teams was amply demonstrated with thought provoking examples. That is two Chilworth breakfast presentations that I have been to now which have easily cleared the bar of being interesting, informative and relevant.  I can’t wait to see to attend the next one.”

Here are some of the comments from people who attended the event:
“Many thanks for an excellent event this morning. Dennis Turner is always very good value and delivered a very impressive presentation, a great combination of clarity with humour thrown in!”
Chris Driver, Director at BDO.
“Just a quick “thank you” for organising the event yesterday. Dennis Turner was a fascinating and amusing speaker and it was good to meet with you and some of the other delegates to “network”. All in all it was a great event in a very nice location.”
Paul Evans, Managing Director at Blom UK.
“Thank you for a really interesting breakfast seminar. I have heard Dennis on two previous occasions and he retains that great ability to boil the whole economic debate down to half a dozen succinct points in a language that the audience understands …interspersed with the clear respect for his wifes shopping habits! Really enjoyed it.”
Mark Lambton, Chief Financial Officer at Drum Cussac.
‘Thank you for the invite – and for the organisation that went into such a successful event.
I enjoyed the presentation immensely – Dennis was as good as ever!’
