Mike Betts, Chief Executive
"When we decided to change the way we delivered our services and employ more disabled people, we enlisted the help of Minty & Friend. For several years now they have helped us on projects such as disability confidence, service improvement, promotion and marketing, policy and strategy, HR and access issues. This has been throughout the organisation from customer facing staff to the Board room.
We have found them to be creative, innovative, not afraid of discussing the brutal truth and have helped us develop a better understanding of our business in relation to disabled people. They are friendly and easy to work with and can adjust their pace to suite circumstances. Overall they have added tremendous value to us and I would recommend them to you."

associate trainer Clare Cromarty
"The Disability Equality training was excellent. I feel I have a greater awareness and understanding of the challenges disabled people face in everyday life. This course was a really positive step in helping my organisation provide a better service by overcoming some of these barriers."

Personal Development Programme for disabled staff
delivered by Phil Friend and Dave Rees
"Many disabled employees tell me that their attendance on the Personal Development Programme has been one of the most inspiring and empowering experiences in their lives. In many cases they have said it has had a profound impact on their home, as well as work life, and they have benefited from learning a number of new powerful tools and techniques in managing the impact of their impairment.
Without doubt, this is one of the most rewarding programmes we have introduced within our suite of diversity training courses, and constantly receives top marks from those disabled employees that have attended it."

They have assisted us to manage positively some of our most complex disability related issues. Their value to us is in their independence and integrity.
