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. He never takes his eye off the ball and is 100% committed to achieving his goal. In addition, Lal is a true team player. He operates with great humility, ensuring recognition goes to where it is deserved and championing every individual. He is skilled at managing people and able to fine tune a team to perform like a well-oiled machine. Lal is a masterclass in leadership, a consummate professional and an amazing colleague who makes a difference every, single day.

Lyn Callender, Programme Director

Education Development Trust

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 demonstrates a high level of professionalism and a no-nonsense approach to the task in hand. Lal has the ability to develop a clear strategy and translate this into an achievable plan with clear, ambitious targets, broken down on a targeted basis to achieve results. Lal communicates this clearly to the team, setting out the expectations and manages the work tightly. Lal is tenacious but approachable. Lal is a great team player and great collaborator and demonstrates excellent leadership. Lal headed up a very successful recruitment campaign and took a tough target and brought together and led a team to achieve excellence whilst demonstrating excellent accountability throughout. 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. The rest is Partnerships for Change!

Bogdan Stefan, English Teacher

Simone Educational Center, Romania

Partnerships for Change have influenced thousands of students, inspiring them to see a bright future of a career. Lal is probably one of the very few people in the UK or internationally to have had such an effect on so many to better the quality of their lives. Through Lal’s influence and the new path through education individuals have chosen, it gives them the chance to try to be what they could dream of being.
