"Everest Team Leader, Simon Hall, made a fascinating presentation on his climb up Mount Everest lead by impressive pictures. He highlighted how individuals and teams could set and reach targets within their company based on his experience in the Marines and his Everest climb. The presentation was very interesting and I’d like to think we all learned something from his experience."
Steve Hanley, Manager Sale Sharks 500 Club

"This (training) really made the teams think about how to look at problems from other people's perspectives and to review the situation both objectively and including personal feelings.
I am particularly thankful to John Collicutt for taking team-working and leadership training to the next level. He really has shown great pride in his work, and has shown how teams can benefit from great leadership and great teamwork."
Manchester City Council

Cheshire Fire and Rescue Service
"Martyn spoke in a very humble way about the amazing 107 days he spent leading soldiers on top of a hill in Afghanistan. The way in which he described the constant threat from Taleban attacks and the challenge of just living in this remote, desolate location, kept us all on the edge of our seats. This was an excellent talk."

“Our players, sponsors and 500 Club members were all inspired by John’s story. Hearing about his experiences in the Gulf War really helped to put our daily work of running the business of professional rugby into context. Losing a game of rugby or not winning a deal in business are always disappointing. But we just have to get back up and keep fighting to win, just as John and his troops did. For a man who has accomplished so much, he tells his story in such a humble manner that you simply can only be inspired by his words.”
Nathan Bombrys, Commercial Director, Sale Sharks Rugby Club
"John Collicut was a superb speaker and very motivational – it puts things into perspective when, as businessmen, we have worries and stresses about day-to-day issues when in John’s world, if they make a mistake someone loses their life! An inspired choice of speaker and never more relevant than in these challenging times."
