Tony Doherty founded Clerkenwell Training and Development Limited in 2000. Clerkenwell is about a ruthless focus on putting clients first. Tony had previously worked as Manager, Human Resources Consultant and Training Manager across the financial services, legal, manufacturing and retail sectors. Since then Clerkenwell clients have included high street banks, asset managers, government agencies, investment banks, manufacturing firms, retail organisations and law firms. But our client focus has endured.
The lasting partnerships have been
Inspirational… for both parties. Clerkenwell trainers have consistently inspired action in client managers. Programme delegates move from “I’m managing now – where do I start?” to “I can do this, I want to get started”. Real skills practise and challenge means delegates return to their teams buzzing with infectious enthusiasm and confidence. Similarly, the global, diverse challenges that our clients represent have brought the best out of Clerkenwell. We love what we do and it shows.
Proven, anecdotally…. “the best programme I’ve ever attended”. Even years after the programme client managers make a point of linking their own development and progress with their Clerkenwell training. Conversations like this happen in elevators, corridors, subsequent programmes…. even the restaurant queue.
And through the numbers…. we get 100% ratings for the facilitator skills questions in post-course evaluations. And delegate perceptions are vital.
Flexible and durable
Through times of internal organisational change and growth, sector and legislative changes, economic and political cycles, these relationships have endured and strengthened. From “appraisal skills” at Moorgate, through “presentation skills” in Almaty to teambuilding on Madison Avenue we’ve achieved a consistent standard of excellence in all kinds of situation. We are proud that all of Clerkenwell’s client contacts and every training day has been established via word of mouth and spontaneous recommendation alone. The Clerkenwell brand is fantastically strong, ex-delegate “evangelists” are spreading throughout client businesses and whole sectors. But for Clerkenwell the solid bond with each individual client is special, and always will be.
“so thank you!! You did a great job and I was really pleased with the feedback; especially then being able to take that back to their MD”.
