Goodbye Bill & Dorothy
It is with mixed feelings that I am writing this newsletter. For the past 12 years, I have worked closely with Bill & Dorothy (alias Dad and Sister) as co-founding Directors of TLC World-wide Ltd. However, the time has come (at last) for Bill to retire. Those of you who have known Bill for sometime will be expecting him to make his, now traditional, comeback, but I can assure you, this time he means it (he is getting on for 70 years old). Dorothy on the other hand, has suffered a serious incident which has meant she can no longer do the job. She has broken her coccyx which has left her with a very unsteady gait and in considerable pain for much of the time. I, though, will still be around but again changes are afoot. I have no intention of running TLC without my family and so am going to be concentrating all my efforts into the on-line training and the running of this newsletter. Also, video production, so if any of you trainers, back exchange groups or anyone else out there need videos producing, it probably won’t cost as much as you think. Give me a shout.
I am sure that those of you who know them will want to join me in passing on your regards to them both. To do so please click here.
As far as our regular classroom based customers are concerned, can I recommend Iain Bolton Associates. Not only is he well known and competent but, as you have come to expect of TLC, he has a proper accent as well (like). Alternatively, another reputable organisation is Edge Services. But keep in touch for the online stuff and this newsletter.
