As a medium-sized public sector orgainisation we primarily used Jeff to develop management and leadership skills in our newly promoted managers. The results were quite dramatic in speeding the progress of these managers to achieve a high level of mature competence.
We also used Jeff to provide leadership development coaching for senior managers and also to provide the facilitation of the organisational strategy development process.
Jeff is a great communicator and all sessions were conducted in a friendly, enjoyable and non-threatening atmosphere.I would strongly recommend Jeff to any organisation that is serious about developing it staff and organisation structure to achieve better results.
John Ibbotson MBA, MIFireE
Jeff worked well with our group , was able to steer the agenda through to meet his and the programme needs whilst engaging the team and ensuring that the discussion stayed focus to meet the course objectives. This was no mean feat considering the personality strengths in the group .
Nick Amerlaan, Logistics Director
Jeff is a highly professional, thought provoking, motivational individual who challenges assumptions looking at life through a unique lens which is realistic, holistic and optimistic.
Many conversations with Jeff have explored the 'meaning of life' and our purpose on planet earth and have drawn many parallels with the concept of leadership and implications on a practical level, in particular attitudes, values and beliefs of effective leaders. Jeff certainly has alternative perspectives on matters which are highly thought provoking.

Jeff Biggin delivered a number of strategic and supervisory managerial courses to South Yorkshire Fire Service. His style of delivery is both innovative and challenging enabling you to realise a greater level of potential and capabilities. As a Service provider Assessor during my secondment, I can honestly say that the courses and training Jeff Biggin provided are of the highest quality and met the needs of our organisation in terms of Service Development of future managers.

I would highly recommend Jeff to anyone who is looking to deliver tailored solutions within their business/organisation as well as have an enjoyable training experience along the way.
Alison Archbold, L&D Officer
I first encountered Jeff whilst undertaking an assignment ( on behalf of the government) seeking to resolve a management crisis in South Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service in the early 2000s.
At the time, Jeff was providing management and leadership development training for managers in South Yorkshire and part of my remit was to establish whether this work was of value. My view was that it was essential and, indeed, Jeff was instrumental in enabling the organisation to re-orientate and to emerge from the crisis over the subsequent period.
I was so impressed with Jeff’s approach that I subsequently commissioned Jeff to develop leadership programmes for junior, middle and senior managers to support the change and transformation journey of my host organisation in Cheshire. The feedback from all who attended the sessions as part of this programme was impressive.
Jeff is thoughtful and knowledgeable, and his style is very affiliative. His particular strength is in being able to design fit for purpose ( and grounded in reality) training and development programmes at all levels of an organisation - up to and including the highest levels. He has a wealth of experience in this respect.
I have subsequently continued to engage with Jeff and to observe his work across all sectors. He has managed to ensure he retains relevance, taking a particular interest in technology and innovation and the implications of technology as an enabler of change.
