Whichever schedule or approach you prefer, we will at all times ensure you and your staff remain in control and we will strongly recommend that you nominate at least one key staff member or champion who can work with us and take on board the necessary skills and experience so that your business grows its own experience base and can maintain the momentum we will provide.
