Bio
Neil Williams
I had the pleasure of working with Christine at Acquire Learning where she was my direct line manger. As head of Learning and Development, Christine brought a real love and passion to her role, and having the opportunity to learn from her vast experience was invaluable. Whether it was her guidance with designing and implementing training programs, or her strong communication skills, working with Christine is always insightful and helped to keep me engaged and motivated. Christine has a wonderful balance between guiding her team and showing great trust in them to work independently. Whenever support was needed though, you can always rely on her to be there for you. An exceptional trainer, Christine is engaging and dynamic and being able to observe her in action is a wonderful professional education. I cannot recommend Christine high enough and would welcome the opportunity of working with her again.
