Part of Senior Management and C-suite teams, we have been setting and influencing strategy, defining business models and course portfolios, leading and enabling service-led change to improve student experience and working closely with business units to develop strategies and operational plans so that they are able to achieve their strategic goals and KPIs and develop their teams further.

Client Testimonials

“I worked with Lal on a programme to engage Early Years Professionals on a continuous professional development programme where he was responsible for securing a high volume of learners registering for the programme. Lal is excellent at producing results, if you have a target to be met, Lal is your person!”

Nicky Daniels

Senior Operations Manager, Education Development Trust

“For me to give advice to my students regarding their future is very important because nobody did the same for me when I was of their age and I needed it. Now, many well-trained students in the field of English have the chance of their lives to go and study in England in order to have a better future. Lal offers professional assistance which meets the students’ needs. With his help a student has nothing else to do but to concentrate on their studies.”

Bogdan Stefan

English Teacher, Simone Educational Center, Romania

“I have had the pleasure of working with Lal over the course of a 9 month period to deliver on a set of extremely challenging recruitment targets. This man can deliver! He immerses himself in the task presented to him, fully understands the brief and is able to pull all sorts of strategies out of his toolkit to ensure everything stays on track.”

Lyn Challender

Programme Director, Education Development Trust

“It was a great pleasure to hear Lal and his team talk. The year 11s found it very useful (many of them were thinking about university, so the talk was very timely!) The year 12s found it very punchy and straight to the point and although many of them have had talks before, they said that Lal’s talk was the best!”

Paola

Merdian School Hertfordshire

"We certainly learned a lot about the decisions that need to be made. Lal and his team’s delivery, enthusiasm, knowledge, anecdotes and sense of humour has motivated our learners"
