Feedback from previous seminars

We regularly provide full day training courses to clients as well us running our complimentary breakfast seminars. We believe that they offer our clients a really useful resource to keep them up to date with the latest issues but don’t just take our word for it. Here is some feedback that we’ve received:

Excellent cover of the subject and gave good responses to the questions
Robin (Director of a major project management consultancy)

Very useful, interesting and applicable to work
Luke (Public sector architect)

Good content, gladly did not refer to case law but rather the speaker’s experience. Excellent summary of the topic that made attendees consider their own situations.
Alan (Commercial Manager at Network Rail)

Very informative. Not too much legal jargon
Ben, QS

Please let Richard know that I have applied his methods with great success in obtaining payment of retention money. Our client had not paid out over £20k on several projects for over 3 years. I tackled the problem as Richard advised in his “Obtaining Payments” seminar and within two weeks they gave in, without the need of a seven day letter. A fantastic result. His guidance’s and expertise are truly worthwhile and have been an asset to me on this occasion.

Many thanks for the great advice.
