SME UK Enterprise Awards 2024/ 74 Best Leadership & Management Development Company 2024 – Europe & UK Enterprise Client Service Excellence Award 2024 Whether it is one-to-one coaching, facilitating a workshop or event, running training courses, or creating development programmes, DMS International Consultants Ltd (DMS International) has years of enviable expertise in delivering the best. Whether the firm comes to you or takes your team to a conference venue, it always leaves people feeling good about themselves and creates a desire for them to be even better. Brian Watling tells us more as the company gains notable recognition with not just one, but two prestigious accolades in the UK Enterprise Awards 2024. DMS International Consultants Ltd was created to fill a gap in the market and what the founders of the firm believe to be a huge need in people development, that of using real experience rather than theory or just education when training others. With an ethos of ‘show’ not just tell, DMS International’s ability to empathise is a key feature of its approach and is one of the reasons it is so successful in helping its clients develop their people to grow their business. All DMS International consultants have been carefully selected to ensure that they have a track record of success and can deliver and transfer skills obtained in the workplace. Another key feature of the business’s approach is the practical hands-on or interactive element of all of its seminars, courses, and coaching sessions, as it excels in talking with people and not at them, demonstrating and working alongside people and truly listening to them. For starters, DMS International offers face-to-face classroom-based training and executive coaching as part of its basic training and development programmes. This can then be supplemented via online training courses. Its core training offerings include Leadership & Management Development; Selling Skills; Event Facilitation; and Executive Coaching & Mentoring. “We are committed to giving excellent service, providing solutions that fit the need and an obligation to be credible and trustworthy,” Brian Watling, Chairman of DMS International explains. “We promise to be at the forefront with new ideas and methods, we promise to be innovative and creative, and we promise to be flexible. We promise to listen and build relationships based on trust and reliability; we will always tell you what we think and be wise enough to do what is needed. We want to be viewed as consultative problem solvers, and if you let us, that is what we promise to be.” Brian has been training and developing managers at all levels for more than 50 years. He attained board level in his own career and has earned great respect wherever he has trained and developed others. He speaks from experience and is motivational and inspirational, attracting very positive feedback from delegates wherever he goes. DMS International has built its stellar business on referrals and recommendations, and Brian firmly believes that this is the right strategy. More than 30 years of working with some of the most demanding organisations in the world are proof that the firm means what it says and that it does, in reality, ‘walk the talk’. “More than anything we want from our services, we want those who participate to be excited by what they have learned and the application of the skills shown and taught,” elaborates Brian. “We encourage lots of questions and we love demonstrating the skills we are covering. We listen to concerns, and when necessary, will follow-up on a one-to-one basis. In every training course we run, we make new friends, and we are seen as solutions and not just teachers.” Many organisations will often identify and use either their own employees in training, or they will build a strong relationship with training providers, and therefore will not look for new ones. Ever since the Covid-19 pandemic, the use of online training has taken priority, along with allowing employees to work from home – this hybrid or remote way of working and learning has, to some degree, diminished the development of skills learned. Brian tells us that the skills needed have not changed and, in fact, they are needed more today than ever, but DMS International now has to show people how to use them at a distance, which can often be challenging, particularly as the firm is small and predominantly family-run, with no desire to become a large, faceless training company with lots of employees. “We train anyone who will deliver our courses, and we watch them deliver and give feedback,” enthuses Brian. “We believe we are more helpful when we can get to a client easily and with the same trainer.” Recently, DMS International gained notable recognition for its stellar work with clients and was rewarded with the title of Best Leadership & Management Development Company 2024 – Europe, as well as clinching the highly-coveted title of UK Enterprise Client Service Excellence Award 2024 in the UK Enterprise Awards.
