Congratulations to our client, Circle Anglia for winning the National Training Awards Regional Award 2010 for its Senior Management Development Programme. Richard has worked with Grant Cullen, Management Development Trainer at Circle Anglia since the inception of this programme to endorse it with the ILM.

This news comes hot on the heels of us helping another client bag a Pharmaceutical Field Award and 2 Training Journal Award nominations for their ‘Changing Mindsets’ selling skills package.

We love it when a plan comes together!

Now, right now, is the time to prepare a detailed portfolio of ROI evidence that demonstrates proactively how your function has added to the bottom line of the business in pounds and pence – why wait until it’s too late? The ability to convert changes in behavior into objective data has been a huge challenge for training and marketing professionals, but not anymore. The team at Bespoke Training are working with a whole host of clients and throughout Europe and the USA to quantify the impact of training interventions and KOL development programs and convert them into objective ROI data that can be used in the Boardroom. Yes the clock is ticking, but your opportunity is to positively change the perception of the value your team has to your business. The question your CEO will be asking is “what additional resource do you need from the company, your value is tangible?” If you would like to know how we have been helping our clients call or email Gareth Davies.

Bespoke Training & Merlin Healthcare will operate a mirrored operational structure, with two essential teams in both Countries: Operations and Client Development. In the UK the main office will retain its location in Fordingbridge, Hampshire and Steve King will lead the Operations team and Gareth Davies will lead the Client Development team. The new US office of Merlin Healthcare will be located in Orlando, Florida with excellent links to its entire US Pharmaceutical and Biotech client base. Dave Chubb will move to the United States to oversee Merlin Healthcare’s successful launch and will assume the role of leading the Operations team once it is established. Paul Chard joins Merlin Healthcare as an equity partner and will lead the Client Development team. Paul brings with him extensive experience of both the US and European markets, having worked at a very senior level in various blue-chip Pharmaceutical and Contract Sales Organizations.

The need to demonstrate a positive return on training investment has never been greater. Until now measurement of training value has been notoriously difficult, however, with the introduction of the Organization’s unique Merlin Metrics software and processes, some of the answers to the most asked questions is at our fingertips: What difference has this training made in the workplace to employee behaviour? What does this change in behaviour mean in terms of increased sales, can we measure it? How should I allocate my training resources to gain maximum return on investment?

Bespoke Training & Development Ltd and now Merlin Healthcare LLC offer a unique approach to Pharmaceutical and Biotech training and are dedicated to making a measurable difference, through sophisticated training evaluation and benchmarking tools

Bespoke Training & Development Ltd and Merlin Healthcare’s senior leadership team have an enviable heritage in the Pharmaceutical and Biotech sectors in both the United States and Europe and would be delighted to discuss their portfolio of products and approach with you.
