"Royston has been delivering our First Aid, Fire Warden & Manual Handling training for several years, and his sessions are consistently outstanding. I originally brought him over from my previous school because I was so impressed by his ability to make these essential (and sometimes dry) topics both enjoyable and engaging. Every attendee I've spoken to has praised his courses, often commenting on how much they enjoyed the sessions and his fantastic interaction. Royston is extremely well-planned, professional, and personable, with a delivery style that puts everyone at ease while maintaining the highest standards of training. I have recommended him to several colleagues within the sector and wouldn't hesitate to do so again. He's an exceptional trainer, and I'm always happy to sing his praises to anyone who will listen."
