Client Testimonials
Helen Lennon CEO Connect Housing
'We have worked with Sharon and Sue from Azure for over 10 years, primarily on a coaching programme for our people managers but also on general management development including a 360 appraisal process. The development of coaching within Connect has helped us give colleagues more autonomy to make decisions at the point of service as well as have adult to adult conversations and build trust'.
Claire Aydogan Head of Careers and Employability at The University of Huddersfield
We have worked with Azure for over two years, during this time I have been impressed with not only the quality of the training received but the bespoke nature of how the training fits our unique needs. From the initial inquiry through to evaluation meetings the professionalism of all colleagues at Azure is first class. It is evident Azure are experts in their field and this knowledge is transferred through all sessions with passion and enthusiasm. We have had over 20 students and businesses participate in coaching programmes and the feedback from delegates is outstanding with one delegate stating ‘if there is any further courses with Azure put my name down’. The materials and resources are of a high standard and recognised by the ILM. I would highly recommend Azure and the team of impressive colleagues to support your business needs in areas of Leadership, management and coaching.

I’ve never experienced a training provider like Azure, we view the team as an integral part of our business. They always provide a creative, bespoke solution that is far superior compared to your ‘standard’ providers – with Azure it’s a consultative process. I know where Sue and the team are when I want to speak to them about our forthcoming training requirements.
