Accreditations

REC

Since inception in 2002 we have had full REC accreditation. We understand the importance of this recognition in our industry and the assurance it gives to all our customers.

  • "A very effective one to one process"
  • "A very strong ethos of participation"
  • "The culture and style of the organisation is one of support and empowerment"
  • "The support available to people is great"
  • "The development of people is directed at building on their strengths"
 
Wiltshire Business of the Year Award

In March 2007 our Managing Director, Darren James, was awarded winner of the ‘Entrepreneur of the Year’ category at the Wiltshire Business of the Year Awards 2006. The award was judged on the following criteria:

  • Level of risk undertaken
  • Growth over five years
  • Profit over five years
  • Strength of vision

The whole business was proud Darren received this recognition of the progress and development the business made over the past five years.

The award of "Entrepreneur of the Year" to Darren James at the recent Wiltshire Business Awards recognised a period of rapid growth that was based on a determination to succeed.

I was impressed not only with the strength of Darren’s vision but with the skills applied to the business’s growth: Definitive Consulting is an outstanding achievement by anyone’s standards and Darren is to be congratulated. The Wiltshire award is very well merited.

Darren sees further opportunities ahead: "We are committed to maintaining consistently high service levels and our goal is to achieve the largest national market share in the industry by 2015."
