His delivery of modules tailored to our requirements combined with his industry experience and dairy technology expertise ensured the training was a success. Excellent feedback was received from all who attended the sessions. We would very much like to work with Fraser again in the future to implement further training packages.

Peter and I just wanted to say a huge thank you for all your support, help and advice in assisting us to work towards our SALSA accreditation.
I know Alison and Somers put in a massive amount of effort and time into this project, and am also aware that they feel they could not have progressed to the level required without your input and guidance, so I wanted to say how grateful Peter and I are on behalf of them and our business.
We are very proud of Alison and Somers’ achievement, which is vital as we grow and develop our business and in continuing to strive to maintain consistently high standards.
It was a pleasure meeting you and we very much hope to have the opportunity to work with you in future and will certainly be sure to recommend your services.
