C:CHANGE - TRAINING DEVELOPMENT AND COACHING
"We have worked with Co-operative Retail Logistics for 8 years, and during this time have been amazed at the visible change in culture and behaviours; the palpable change from the old-style hard-nosed management styles of ACC Distribution, to the new openness and honesty of Co-operative Retail Logistics, is staggering. As specialists in enhancing business performance, we have witnessed a vast improvement in leadership qualities and are proud to work alongside Co-operative Retail Logistics to support an ethical and successful business"
