Beverly commented “Saunderson House takes seriously the investment in its people and the in-house coaching programme which I lead is part of this. I worked to achieve my credentials as a coach because it demonstrate not only knowledge and skill, but also a commitment to high professional standards and a strong code of ethics. These are exactly the values shared by my colleagues at Saunderson House”.
