Meet the Team
We’re Bob, Dave, Rachel, Darren, Patrycja and Shante.
With a passion for training, and helping people, we work tirelessly to provide you with the best service we can – every day.
Bob Hayward – Chairman
Bob is an entrepreneur and business leader with a proven success in creating and running businesses.
His expertise is in business growth sales consultancy, corporate internal communication, and world-class training.
With a passion for adult business skills training, whether soft skills like first aid and fire safety, or hard skills like driving a forklift truck, Bob has created a training centre that is a relaxed, fun, safe and yet challenging place to learn these vital skills.
David Gearon – Training Director
With over 20 years’ experience of operating and training on different types of lift trucks, Dave has brought all this knowledge and experience to this role.
He knows that training can be stressful for some people, so he ensures that every delegate that enters through the front door is made to feel welcome and relaxed so they can enjoy the course.
He wants to provide the best training that we can, so that our customers and participants are assured high standards and great value for money.
Rachel Gearon – Managing Director
Rachel brings over 30 years of customer service experience to her role.
She has worked for both public and private sector customers, helping to develop outstanding processes, with the aim to deliver an excellent customer experience for everyone we work with.
She gets overly excited about spreadsheets and stationery, but tries to bring some order to the office and to make our training centre feel like a home away from home.
Darren Radford – Lead Instructor
Darren has over 25 years experience in the warehouse industry, operating various types of Manual Handling Equipment. He also has worked in the Health and Safety sector for over 6 years.
Darren enjoys passing on what he has learnt and his experiences onto others and always likes to make candidates feel relaxed, as he believes if you are relaxed you will have more chance of achieving your targets.
Patrycja Mucha – MHE Instructor
Patrycja (AKA Patty) joins us as a new forklift instructor.
She had previously trained with us as an operator many years ago and went onto learn many other trucks in her various roles.
She is dedicated, professional, and an awesome forklift operator, so she will be holding you all to the highest standards.
Shante Mukusha – Business Admin Apprentice
Shante joins us as our first apprentice. Her role as Business Administration Apprentice will see her assisting with bookings and enquiries, and assisting the training team, as they support our clients and delegates.
As her first job after college, we will be guiding her along her journey of discovery, and if Rachel has anything to do with it, she will be an Excel geek before she finishes her apprenticeship in 18 months’ time!
