Ford Retail – Jon Harte – Parts Director
“Before AMA I believed I was ok as a manager even though I didn’t have any qualifications. What I didn’t realise I didn’t know where I was, AMA has allowed me to benchmark myself against the good the bad and the ugly, the way the assessment was done was challenging, testing, fun and enjoyable and it made me take a deeper look at myself. I learnt on the day and I was able to brush up on my skills. Since the assessment I am more capable of doing the job I am meant to do.”
Benfield Motor Group – Colin Pybus – Dealer Principal
“My initial thoughts were that the assessment was going to be a tick box exercise. Once I met Jane I quickly discovered that this was defiantly not the case. I felt the assessment and feedback have helped me understand areas of improvement within my business, Jane has also been instrumental in sharing ‘ Best Practice ‘ on some key issues which have increased profitability.”
IVECO – Mike King – Network/Commercial Training Manager
“Now that we have come to the finish of the progamme of assessing Dealer Sales Managers … I thought perhaps I should write and say thank you for your support in developing bespoke products to meet Iveco requirements. I was particularly impressed with the flexibility shown. May I thank you personally for being involved in the matter of personal development plans for the Managers and for presenting your findings.
I look forward to working with you and the team once more.”
Charles Hurst (Lookers PLC ) Bentley/Ferrari/Maserati – Kevin Rogan – Aftersales Manager
“I was nervous in the days leading up to the assessment and had worried about what I may have let myself in for! Your professionalism when conducting the assessment put me at ease and help give me confidence during the assessment process.
The truth is it gave me a better understanding of how I do my job and where I need to improve. It has given me a lot more confidence and made me more aware of how I manage myself in my management position. It was without doubt the best thing I have done as a manager.”
Piccadilly Motors Ltd – Jason Lovell - Dealer Principal
“In my opinion the Automotive Management Accreditation is by far the best way to test your ability in a Management Role. Every element has been carefully thought out and the feedback I received from my Assessor was extremely valuable. It’s been a long time coming but it’s been worth the wait. Just what the Industry needed in order to increase its profile going forward through difficult times.”
Lex Autolease – George Reid - Head of Technical Services
“The assessment itself made me re-look at my management skills in detail how I manage my team - people management is very important to the success of any company. Managers are like sports people who train every day to be fit in their sport to compete. The AMA is a programme that will help us to be fit managers.”
Electoral Commission – Natalie Sayer – Learning & Development Manager
“Camille ensures real learning takes place through a sensitive yet challenging approach. She is very good at understanding our requirements and tailoring the training appropriately, but more importantly, adapting the training to situations as they arise. Feedback from delegates:
