The key to success in business is high quality leadership and management with a motivated and organised workforce.
Key Consultants' focus is the key element to the success of your business – the people. Our style of working with businesses to change the attitudes, abilities and efficiency of staff is one of the most successful ways in both the short and long term to bring about improvements. Our approach is based on our client’s plans, needs and aspirations and we create bespoke training solutions to achieve those goals through a variety of learning initiatives. Our workshops are created with more than just the end result in mind, we use a combination of traditional and cutting edge learning approaches to ensure the delegates enjoy the process and are thoroughly stimulated throughout. Wherever appropriate we use experiential learning, a technique based on “learning by doing”, with links to theory, reflection and behavioural changes. Not only is this a highly effective technique, the delegates retain the information for far longer, ensuring greater value for our clients. Our training is totally inclusive and ranges from the least experienced member of staff to the CEO. Workshops include, but are not limited to:
• Leadership and Management Skills
• Embracing Change
• Enhancing Team Working
• Presentation Skills
• Problem Solving and Creativity
• Time Management
• Strategic Selling
Our Mission Statement is:
“To provide our clients with a custom designed product and service of the highest standard in the field of personal development and training.”
Our Guiding Principles
We appreciate and value differences in others, aim to help people to be the best they can be and exercise integrity in all that we do
We recognise that when it comes to people, there are no simple answers. Everyone has a preferred path to excellence, everybody has something to learn and something to teach. People do not need to agree or even see things the same way, although it helps if they aim to understand each other.
Training Philosophy
Our aim is to assist organisations in achieving outstanding and sustainable results that balance the needs of all stakeholders through maximising individual effectiveness and enhancing motivation and proactivity.
Taking the specific needs of each client we design appropriate interventions to meet those unique needs for the individual, team, manager and leader involved.
We believe that investing in the potential of their people delivers an excellent return for an organisation.

Company History
Key Consultants Ltd was formed in 1983 by Susan Lock who previously worked for British Airways. Key quickly acquired prestigious contracts with British Nuclear Fuels and Mobil Oil through the ability to deliver the leading edge benefits of Behaviour Analysis as developed by Rackham and Morgan. Some of these contracts continued until the 1990‘s, although the programmes developed and changed significantly. Several other trainers from British Airways joined the team of Key maintaining this edge in harnessing the best of new management thinking and combining it with more traditional, proven ideas and techniques to design and deliver dynamic, effective development to individuals and organisations.
Key has retained consultants from those early days and supplemented them with new members who share the team's values and standards, and have brought new approaches.The majority of the Key team are qualified as NLP practitioners, MBTI qualified and have first or masters degrees. Working in close partnership with major clients, such as British Nuclear Fuels, McCain Foods, SAS and Nortel Networks, Key Consultants developed programmes that genuinely addressed the needs of the organisation, while meeting the unique and personal needs of leaders and managers. Many of the practices developed on these programmes were adopted to produce a highly successful leadership and change programme for Cumbria County Council Contract Services. As they approach their 25th Anniversary, Key Consultants continues to share this wealth of experience with a wide range of organisations.
