Our reputation has grown organically, much like our services. Our portfolio of services has evolved in response to our client’s request. Unhappy with the service, the response and the cost of the services our clients were getting elsewhere, they began steadily moving their services to us.

We do what we say we are going to do when we say we are going to do it. We always deliver more than is asked of us. That is why all our clients, 100% of them, have come to us via referral. They know we won’t let them down, but they also know, we don’t make false promises. If we can, we will, if we can’t, we say so.

The Consult Centre team is excellent

I have attended several of The Consult Centres social media courses, and have found each one of them to be very informative. Ruth is a great teacher and explains everything in language that is easy to understand and makes learning fun! I also use The Consult Centre for my businesses social media management, which I find amazing and gets results. The posts are interesting, eye catching, fun, and they have increased both my followers and enquiries, leading to new clients being onboarded. I find Ruth and all the team at The Consult Centre to be extremely professional and friendly, nothing is too much trouble and they really care about their clients. I would highly recommend both their training courses and the social media management. Looking forward to my next course!

I found the Adverts for Facebook course…

I found the Adverts for Facebook course extremely beneficial and have already put what was taught into practice. The way the day is course is constructed with examples being shown and time for questions and time for people to ask specifics about their business, makes the overall learning a great experience. 
I have also attended an Instagram course and similarly found this really beneficial. 
I would highly recommend any of these courses  to anyone who is looking to improve their skills and keep up to date with the ever changing  digital world.

Fantastic Canva short course

I recently attended a short course, delivered by Ruth, on how to use Canva. The course content was excellent - I learned a lot in a short space of time; the delivery of the course was informative and fun - lots of clever, time-saving hints and tips and the time passed very quickly; it was, all in all, great value for money. Would recommend Ruth's learn a lot for a little, fuss-free courses.

Once again

Once again, I've just had another highly informative and engaging workshop on how to set up my Facebook business page so that I can promote my business most effectively. Ruth, absolutely knows her stuff and always teaches it in an enjoyable format. She sets up an environment in which learners feel free to ask questions if they don't understand anything. The time flew by and I definitely feel I know way more now than I did at the start.

Ruth’s LinkedIn sessions are essential to do!

Ruth’s LinkedIn sessions for business and personal were brilliant. I was a long time “self-taught” user but actually had no idea how to maximise the platform! I groaned thinking how much reworking I would need to do since setting up my own business. However, it’s become even more important to know how to use social media and smartly. This is where Ruth comes in! Since attending the LinkedIn sessions and putting into practice what Ruth taught, I’ve already landed two brand new clients and have multiple leads. I’ve even published an article! I’m feeling so much more confident with the platform and actually understand how it works. It was worth me spending the time attending the sessions and working on my pages. I’m much more hopeful and even excited about my business for 2021. After the tumultuous events of this year who would think I would dare write such a thing. This really is thanks to Ruth. Every session is so practical and no nonsense. I highly recommend Ruth’s sessions for complete novices and for those seeking a refresher.

Attended a fab Facebook training…

Attended a fab Facebook training session yesterday which Ruth ran in conjunction with Morecambe College, for local small businesses. Ruth is a great trainer and tailored her course so there was something for everyone at whatever stage they were at in their learning and business development. I cant wait for her next session that I have booked on. Thank you Ruth for all your help and support.

Training from consult centre

I recently took part in several training sessions lead by Ruth from the consult center, each session was taken at a good pace and informative. Throughout the training session, Ruth took care to ensure everyone understood what was happening and went over things again if required. `~If you a looking to train yourself or your staff Ruth would be my first choice.

Fb for business courses

Over the last few weeks I was enrolled on the facebook for business/ads courses with Ruth through LMC. I didn't realise how much I didn't know! Ruth was so helpful and answered all my questions perfectly. I have now managed to make so many improvements to the business page and website. Thank you for all your fabulous advice- very enjoyable days.

Thank you Ruth for your great service

Thank you Ruth for your great service. My website and SEO was in a real mess. I was upset by how bad it was. Ruth's positive attitude and attention to detail is amazing. The work carried out to help me was done quickly and everything was explained to me. I am so much happier now.

Fabulous team ,fantastic experience, amazing support

Where do I start? Ruth and the whole team have such an enthusiastic approach and get results for you!

Whether you are one of their clients or simply attending training, networking with others, or hiring a room they are fantastic to deal with.

I feel my social media is in safe hands - in such a short space of time they all know so much about me and my business they can now speak on my behalf, and that's the difference. I trust them to be my voice! And it's bringing new clients every week.

Additionally, throughout the whole COVID crisis they have provided amazing support to, and a wonderful platform for, their own clients and many other local businesses. They really care!

Thank you
