We have worked with Nora Douds from Podd Consulting for several years now on various different programmes and projects. As a fellow hotelier, we engaged Nora at the outset to assist us to develop a bespoke range of training programmes tailored to our operating departments. The quality, content and delivery of these Training Programmes were of a high standard, and most importantly, current. The feedback and engagement with our team has been reflective of that same high standard.”
