    • This is just a quick email to say thank you for the training you delivered this week, I found the course to be of great value and I gained lots from the course, I also found it interesting when you were talking about the precision grinding even though this is an area I do not work within. You catered well in my opinion for everyone on the course. Your set up is great - everything in one place + your knowledge was invaluable during the day and it just shows that those who have actually worked within the area they teach make the best tutors. I have attended so many courses where it is obvious the trainer has not had the experience in the subject but this is not the case with you. Great course, great delivery
