We’re one of Derby’s leading management training providers!

Annie Litchfield delivering leadership & management training

We provide East Midlands businesses with practical training for managers, supervisors, and team leaders. As you’d expect, our management, HR, wellbeing, and people skills courses are designed and delivered by a highly qualified, experienced, and accredited team of experts. But since we also run a multi-award winning HR consultancy, we actually do all the things we talk about in our training, on a day-to-day basis out there in the real-world. As a result, we can adopt a down-to-earth and business focused approach within our courses, bringing theory to life by drawing on numerous interesting cases that we have ourselves personally dealt with.

So, rather than boring you with a load of dull hypothetical academic talk, we’ll instead show you the best practical ways to effectively deal with the types of tricky management issues that you’re likely to really face within your workplace. Which means that our training fully involves participants through interactive exercises, case studies, and Q&A sessions. No ‘death by PowerPoint’ here!

We supply the full lifecycle of training services, all the way from initial pre-training needs analysis to post-training evaluations and follow-up support. We can deliver our management training in whatever format best suits you, ranging from single off-the-shelf bite-sized webinars to bespoke programmes of full-day classroom based sessions with comprehensive follow-up support. We don’t view our training as simply an end in itself, but rather as an effective tool for helping your business get to where it wants to go.

Don’t just take our word for it!

Annie is a really bubbly character

The webinar was led by Annie from Loates. Annie is a really bubbly character and engaged with the participants in a relaxed and friendly manner.

I found the content of the webinar really helpful in making suggestions to tweak our performance review process. As a business we are in the early implementation stages of carrying out performance reviews so it was a very timely session. Employee engagement is one of the key issues to the business succeeding. The webinar gave us an opportunity to do some little breakout exercises which gave us an opportunity to reflect on how we could help to develop our colleagues. With this being more of a workshop session we also have the opportunity to interact with others on the session. It was interesting to learn of the challenges others had and how they were trying to resolve them.
Annie is clearly a bookworm and made a number of suggestions regards to reading material to consider. My Audible account is now down to zero credit and Amazon have delivered some bedtime reading.

Thanks Annie & Loates for running this session; I found it really helpful.

Very good

I found the training very good. it covered the subjects well, and gave a lot of information. Annie was friendly and included everyone quite naturally.
I sat at the end of the table, and was impressed with how she kept turning to make sure I was included too. There was just the right amount of eye contact with everyone.
Annie kept making sure everyone was okay, and gave permission to take ‘time out’ if needed.
I enjoyed it.

On another note, the buffet was well above average, really enjoyable, with plenty of snacks and time for drinks. This added something extra to my expectation.

Keep doing what you are doing Annie!

Great tutor, venue and course

The fabulous tutor was very knowledgeable and involved all the group in discussions and exercises which made it all very enjoyable as well as informative. Great venue as well.

A great training session

I just wanted to say thank you to Sarah and Annie for a great training session yesterday for Timms Solicitors partners, associates and the management team. We thoroughly enjoyed the session and the energy in the room was brilliant. I have learnt a great deal about my team and they have learnt about themselves and how to manage their behaviour in the office and gain respect from the staff. I must say I was very proud of the way they all engaged and the contributions they made. Thank you so much for bringing out the best in us.

Thought provoking, engaging and confidence building

Whilst I have previously attended a Mental Health First Aider course, I very much looked forward to attending to refresh my knowledge and rebuild my confidence in applying that skill set. The sessions, whilst packed full of difficult subject matter, were really informative and delivered in a way that built confidence, provided a safe space to have those open and frank discussions about personal experiences and reduce nervousness around potential scenarios.

An added bonus – the course has helped me to understand how to look after my own mental health as well as being able to be there for others.

A special shout out to Annie who led our course, engaging and encouraging throughout.

Completing the Mental Health First Aider training was truly transformative. Our instructors, Annie and Tayla, were not only knowledgeable but also incredibly supportive and compassionate. They created a safe space for learning, encouraging open discussions, and equipping us with practical tools for mental health support.I was deeply impressed by their dedication to reducing stigma and promoting mental wellness.If you’re considering this qualification, I highly recommend reaching out to Annie and Tayla for further information. They are exceptional educators who genuinely care about empowering others in mental health advocacy.

I really enjoyed the Critical Thinking and Decision Making Workshop I attended recently. Tayla’s presentation and the additional information will definitely help me within my role and move my skills forward. Thank you very much Tayla 🙂

I attended a Mental Health First Aid course ran by Annie. She was a brilliant trainer and very good at facilitating the course and encouraging everyone to get involved in the discussions. I would definitely recommend Annie and Loates Management Training.

I attended a training session with Sarah which focussed on recruiting the right person. Sarah was extremely knowledgeable and gave me some useful tips and advice on not only the process of recruitment but the legal pitfalls to avoid during this process.

We have been engaged with Loates HR for the past six months on both training provision and HR services. Our experience has been first class, with both services delivered professionally with a friendly and engaging approach that makes the relationship feel less like client/contractor and more colleague/colleague. Our training solution is a bespoke arrangement for first-line managers and we have been impressed with the attention taken to ensure that all content is evidenced and up-to-date and delivered in a way that encourages engagement and therefore learning. I would highly recommend.
