Training

PW(ES)I was created following the experience of its founder, Trevor Phillips-Williams, of trying to set up his first business in 1983. He discovered that although help was offered by various government sponsored bodies, most of the input was theoretical and delivered in the main by people who "had never actually done it" or had tried and failed. Participation in these programmes did assist in focusing development but there was little of the realistic advice and coaching/mentoring that can only come from up to date personal experience.

He also found that although organisations such as the high street banks, accountants etc. promoted themselves as "helping" small businesses, it did not take too long to realise that their main remit was to sell their wares often with very little effective help. PW(ES)I was created to address this perceived need to provide realistic help to create and develop successful small businesses world wide.

In view of this, the policy of PW(ES)I is to only utilise the services of associate trainers, consultants, mentors and coaches who earn their living from the subject in which they specialise. Consequently all our programmes deliver personal up to date experience, rather than the academic theory so often delivered by the many organisations offering similar training and consultancy!

Our associates have also been assessed and trained to deliver their input effectively.

PW(ES)I offers help to all types of small business, but it specialises in Tourism and the artistic type of industries - dancers, designers, actors, trainers, coaches, consultants etc. - anyone in fact who is actually the product.

Our message is "You Must Control." Our motto is "Fun, Freedom and Profit"

As well as training and development, PW(ES)I offers the provision of one to one management services for micro businesses and SME's including book-keeping and accounting, market research, marketing, business planning, company formation, Import and Export, Tax and VAT planning, VAT, Self-Assessment Tax, investigations and troubleshooting.

It also organises Micro Trade Missions to various overseas countries in order to assist new entrepreneurs into the benefits of exporting. More >

In order that delegates make the best use of the learning they have gained through us, PW(ES)I always offers an ongoing Helpline to all delegates after they have attended a programme for as long as it is needed. This allows the programme to be cascaded into the new business as and when it is needed. It also acts as a reminder at the time it is most needed.

Our services divide into specific areas of learning and development:

  • Creating and Maintaining a Successful Business More >
  • Specialist Training and Development for the International Tourism Industry More >
  • Business Skills for Artistic People More >
  • Trade Missions for Micro Businesses (Micro Missions) More >
