“Spire Healthcare have worked with Dave Spinks (JDSpinks Ltd) for more than 2 years. Dave prepared for us a serious and comprehensive succession planning process to use with our senior leaders in the  business. Alongside this Dave was able to work with the business leaders to prepare a set of leadership behavioural competences. We are satisfied with the level of Dave's performance in that project, still use, and put into practice his recommendations. Dave has continued to demonstrate outstanding knowledge of leadership development and of the healthcare sector we operate within. He is fully committed to the interests of his customers and always follows the timing and budget of the project without any negative influence on the quality. Dave is enthusiastic and positive, and is able to work well with all levels of the organisation. I would not hesitate to use Dave on future HR and OD projects.”

Group Human Resources Director, Spire Healthcare

I have worked with Dave for a number of years both as a colleague whilst working at the Cooperative and as a purchaser of his services.  He is a fantastic asset to my small training and development team.  I can call on him at any time to deliver projects both of small and large scale.  He is a true professional and is skilled in a range of topic areas. He has run one off training days for me including, but not limited to, appraisal training and customer service.  He has also delivered a wider change management initiative where he has travelled nationwide to deliver training across our business to support a new IT system implementation.  Dave’s focus here was the psychology of change. Dave always receives great feedback from delegates and I feel I can trust him to deliver to a high standard across our Hospital network.

"David is a highly experienced, enthusiastic and motivated person who is very client focused and brings out the best in people. He is innovative in his ideas for taking learning and development forward"

Owner, Christine Pyke Media

What strikes one with Dave is his great enthusiasm and ‘can do’ approach. He is highly conscientious and quickly builds strong relationships that engender trust. As well as that, and vital for an L&D professional, is his focus on his own continuous development.

Head of Group Leadership Talent, The Cooperative Group

"It is a pleasure to work with Dave who is always totally professional and supportive."

Owner, Baker Thompson Associates Limited

"Dave helped to set up a creative workshop for some of ITV's most senior production figures, which I had started... devised a range of activities to ensure that the day would be interesting and of solid usefulness to the participants, but still have an element of fun. Dave took a big part in the running of the event, which was smooth and satisfactory from start to finish. Dave is confident, imaginative and draws on years of experience to make sure that everything goes right. I very much hope to draw on his talents and skills in the future."
