Centre for Education in Built Environment, University of Salford
Bibby Rumbelow have been active in a number of pioneering projects and resource development that will bring significant benefits to the sector.  Judy and Darryl's commitment to learning that is embedded in and contributes to practice, is something of a mission. It makes them highly effective change agents.

Bibby Rumbelow has carried out two reviews of CPD activity in different Faculties of the College and provided detailed recommendations for service improvement and development. Their analysis and expertise has added real value to our in-house effort and been enormously helpful. We are about to start a new project with them spanning enterprise activities across three higher education institutions. I have no hesitation in highly recommending them to others who are looking for professional and expert KT service development advice.

Elain Crewe, Director of Professional and Flexible Learning, 
University of Leicester
BibbyRumbelow delivered a series of staff development workshops to staff from various functions across the University of Leicester.  The aim of the sessions was to provide a forum for discussing employer engagement as well as for developing understanding of various aspects of employer engagement.  Both Judy and Darryl were extremely supportive and professional both in agreeing the approach to be taken and in delivering the sessions.  They were sensitive to the particular context in which Leicester is working and the feedback from colleagues was very positive.   As the project Director, I have found the sessions extremely useful and informative.

Laura Woods, Director of Academic Enterprise,
University of Teesside
Teesside University has put workforce development at the heart of its business engagement strategy.  Our SDF employer engagement initiative will see the creation of at least 850 co-funded FTEs by 2010/11, along with the embedding of workforce development as a mainstream activity across the institution.   Effective staff development is central to our overall strategy, and the support and advice we’ve had from Bibby Rumbelow in creating and delivering a high-quality programme have been excellent. The real added value comes from their knowledge and understanding of HE and of the cultural and practical challenges of engaging with employers.

Bibby Rumbelow provide a very professional service which is tailored to the specific needs of the organisation. They worked closely with us to understand our specific needs and the organisational culture to ensure that the outcomes of the activities were relevant and very applicable across the whole organisation. I would highly recommend them for a bespoke service to meet your organisational and business needs.

Coventry and Warwickshire Partnership Trust
Head of Workforce Development
As an NHS Mental Health and Learning Disability Trust, we have been working with Judy Rumbelow and Darryl Bibby, through the Coventry University Employer Engagement Programme for the last 18 months. This was initially to look at developing and delivering the "Creating Capability Programme", a unique programme of management and leadership development, that is delivered within the work place and integrates academic learning with everyday workplace experience. Judy and Darryl have been innovative and creative in engaging with the Trust to develop a programme that is tailored to the needs of individual groups of staff, whilst at the same time maintaining the high academic standard that is set by the University.

Parcelforce Worldwide
Head of People and Organisation Development Programmes
I first met Judy and Darryl when they came from Coventry University to talk to us about a customised learning and development programme they had designed for team leaders and middle managers. Their approach was different because they made efforts to really understand our business by listening to what we needed. It was very refreshing to find two people from a mainly academic background who were able to apply their knowledge and experience to a set of business issues in a way that was easily understood and provided a practical solution to the challenge of learning and development in a 24/7 business.
