Economic Zones World is a leading provider special economic zones and maritime logistics facilities around the world. Its flagship is Jafza. Jafza is today home to about 6400 companies from 120 countries across the world and is the leading driver of the growing UAE economy. Following a period of investigation we created a comprehensive 4 day induction programme for the business to educate customers from around the globe as to EZW's history, operating philosophy, functional structure, key personnel, customs operations and the structure of free zones. This culminated in a physical site tour to bring the theory to life.

Glass Qualifications Authority

We worked with GQA in 2010 after being asked to support them with developing their internal communication. This small team had gone through a number of recent personnel changes and communication in the business had become fractured. In addition to this the business was going through a period of change with how its qualifications could be accessed in the market place, presenting both an opportunity and a threat. Through a review of development goals we designed a bespoke 2 day training event in partnership with Log Heights at Ripley Castle. The event combined an interactive strategic planning day and a team building/communication day using the exceptional facilities provided by Log Heights.
