What our clients say


  • "Sampson Armand's approach allows entrepreneurial business owners access to corporate-level training and support. Phil and Sandra and their super-friendly team manage to supply the magic mix of theory with practical application (with some good food thrown in!). I will be recommending their workshops and breakfast seminar series to others." Martin Truman, Truelegal
  • "The Leadership Development programme, and in particular the one to one coaching sessions, which allow a step back from the busy office environment, have allowed me to assess my life goals and aspirations, and give renewed focus on my leadership style and how this impacts on those around me." Steve Tucker, Bishop Fleming
"Having attended a recent Established Leaders Course I can highly recommend it to anyone thinking about leadership or involved already in a leadership situation. Sampson Armand are excellent communicators and with the use of their personal experiences they make the day challenging, entertaining and fun. No matter what your background or business the day will bring benefits for years to come." Phil Goodson, www.savingsunlimited.co.uk

"In the busy 'day-to-day' it can be easy to lose sight of overall strategic aims and get bogged down with routine stuff that deflects and distracts from working specifically towards larger goals. I engaged Sampson Armand to help focus my thinking and to be more effective in the implementation of Komodo's business strategy. Beginning with defining company values, the process worked through setting out an objective (mission), the creation of an action plan to achieve it, identifying and planning for key risks as well as a model for strategic talent management. I now have a much clearer vision of where we are headed and how to actually get there. The work was undertaken by Dave Hall who I have found to be extremely knowledgeable and very personable. He has a wealth of business and life experience which he can apply to situations and provides sound practical advice and tried and tested tools that he delivers in an easy to understand way. I would have no hesitation in recommending Sampson Hall to other organisations that are looking for action focused input to help them to better define key strategic goals and creating an action plan to ensure that they are met."

Left to my own devices I would have carried on in insecurity and confusion but my experience at Sampson Armand’s leadership training day helped me to realise that I already had a lot of the qualities required and with their help and guidance I can approach the challenges with confidence and help my team to realise their full potential..and enjoy doing so!"
