About Us

LFB History, Mission and Values

Richard Cresswell

Founded in 2001 and still run by Richard Cresswell, our product range originally consisted of people consultancy, quality assurance consultancy and a highly popular series of 'bite size' value adding management programmes.  In 2002 we decided to grow our product range to include qualifications, so in September of that year we became one of the first Institute of Leadership and Management (ILM) centres in the world.

In 2007 we recognised the value of diversifying into different markets.  So we looked into exporting into mainland Europe and in 2009 we looked to export to countries well outside Europe.  Strategic partnerships have been built over time and we are in a strong position to offer all of our product range globally.

Our target market is 'employers' and over the last few years we have helped well over 750 of them - some of them international private sector concerns, some of them smaller family owned organisations, some of them local government organisations and some of them internationally known charities.  We have also delivered somewhere in the region of £400,000 of European Union funded learning courses.  We see our mission is:

 'to provide high quality learning, consultancy and developmental products/solutions that yield  demonstrable client benefits'

To help achieve this we:

  • Never make unrealistic promises.

  • Strive for long term working relationships with all clients.

  • Are as flexible as possible in terms of where we deliver, when we deliver and how we deliver.

  • Work closely with clients to ensure what we do contributes towards their business objectives.

If these are the values you look for in a supplier and feel we have products that can help you, why not browse the rest of our site and contact us?
