Atkins

Atkins is the fourth largest multi-disciplinary consultancy in the world by number of employees (over 17,000) and the largest multi-disciplinary consultancy in Europe by turnover (£1.2Billion). They have topped the league of UK engineering consultancies for the last 12 years.

Atkins Rail division approached the Gordon Poole Agency requesting them to find a Facilitator for their Global Rail Conference to be held in the Midlands.

James Poole explains:
“As one of the UK’s leading suppliers of guest speakers and presenters, I recommended Shaun to Atkins knowing that he would work to their brief and also add his own professional expertise and advice. Shaun is articulate, humorous, and always delivers the client’s key messages.”

Sue Foster, Marketing and Business Development Manager explains further:
“Shaun worked with our presenters prior to the conference and offered advice on content and coaching on presentation skills. During the conference he introduced our speakers, facilitated various debates and Q & A sessions and interviewed our Managing Director in a ‘Michael Parkinson’ style interview.”

Shaun was again chosen to facilitate the 2008 conference in Leeds.

“Having set the standard last year, Shaun helped us deliver an even better event to our delegates who had come from around the world with high expectations after the previous years.” said Managing Director David Tonkin.

“After the success of the previous year’s event, our delegates arrived with very high expectations. Shaun once again helped us deliver an exceptional conference”.

“We will definitely be booking him for our next conference.”
