TRAINING:
I can design customised Excel, Access, Word and PowerPoint training courses based on the needs of your business. With 28 years training experience under my belt, including many years of training needs analysis, it has been proven to me that creating customised training programs rather than sending staff on the standard scheduled course can increase the learning absorption by more than double! I have developed all sorts of courses for many corporate clients – in South Africa, the UK and in New Zealand.
In order to make sure that any training down is specific to your needs I can:
Identify the training need by means of a TNA (Training Needs Analysis questionnaire or direct questions to identify the specific training requirement).

Schedule the training – either one-one-one or in small groups.
Provide telephone support and backup once the training is complete.

I help businesses translate how they actually operate into documentation their teams can use - closing the gap between complex operating principles and practical, frontline-ready tools.
My background spans chemical engineering, large-scale manufacturing operations, and professional services - which means I understand both the technical depth and the human reality of how processes need to work on the ground.
What makes my work different is that I don't just write procedures. I study how a business operates as a system, identify where documentation is creating friction or dependency, and build tools that give teams genuine autonomy. The result is documentation that reduces founder or manager involvement without sacrificing quality or consistency.
My experience includes:
Translating a complex, enterprise-level manufacturing operating system into practical frontline tools for production operatives - making high-level operational principles usable at the point of work.
Developing laboratory equipment SOPs that balanced technical precision with clarity for daily users - ensuring compliance without creating documentation that sat on a shelf.
Creating frontline-facing SOPs for production environments where speed, clarity and decision-making under pressure were non-negotiable.
Currently working with a professional services firm to build their full operational documentation suite - spanning customer journey, billing systems, collections processes and business development - with a specific focus on reducing founder dependency and building a connected system rather than isolated procedures.
I work best with:
Business owners who have outgrown informal ways of working and need their operational knowledge captured and systemised. Teams that need documentation built around how they actually work, not theoretical compliance frameworks.
If you need someone who can hold the big picture and the detail at the same time, let's talk.
