What our clients say...

“Training and development of staff is key to the progress of any organisation. Vital Spark has developed bespoke individual training for our team members, which is ensuring that we are able to identify strengths and weaknesses of each team member thereby maximising an individual’s full potential within their natural communications styles.

The personal approach taken by Karen is rare in today’s climate and we are hopeful working long term with Karen on this approach with staff will support our company’s aims and objectives for the future.”
