Back in April 2006 Mike Boniface, Managing Director of Boniface Engineering Ltd, was US2U Consulting's first client. Established in 1982 by Mike, Boniface Engineering has always specialised in the manufacture of vehicle recovery equipment. In the early days all the products were designed and developed by Boniface.

Miller Industries (USA) acquired Boniface Engineering in 1996; many of the products installed today at Thetford originate from Miller factories in the USA and France. Miller Industries is the world's largest manufacturer of towing and recovery equipment and include the brand names Century, Challenger, Holmes, Eagle, Jige, Boniface, Chevron, Vulcan and Champion.

In the early years of US2U Consulting the team worked with the management team at Boniface Engineering to progress core processes to develop leadership behaviours, management processes and marketing initiatives which have enabled Boniface to continue to be brand leader in the UK and expand the business in Europe. This involved working at sites in the UK, USA and France.

Celebrating US2U Consulting's 10th anniversary Mike Boniface said, "Access to the expertise Rachel brought to us provided training to our employees which would have taken years to develop otherwise."

At US2U Consulting we have always been passionate about working in partnership with clients to develop their people to assist with achieving their ambitious business plans.

We have recently completed another Leadership Programme with one of our international automotive clients, Snap-on. We have worked on multiple projects with Snap-on since 2014 and always focus on making a positive difference.

Mark Ost, General Manager at Snap-on said, "We have worked in partnership with US2U over many years and have always been delighted with the professional training our associates have received. With Rachel's support we have managed to progress our associates' careers and development. We look forward to working together for many years to come."

Demonstrating the diversity of our projects, we have recently researched, designed and planned an academic focused programme of learning and development for the management team from one of our clients.

The launch presentation was attended by all participants where we enjoyed a delicious dinner together with the Challenger, Entrepreneur and Record Breaker Richard Noble OBE who we organised at short notice.

One of the current priorities is to invest in Human Capital to deal with the many challenges that lie ahead. There is a need to develop Leadership and Management Skills and develop a culture of Lifelong Learning so that people can adapt to the new normal and make the most of the latest opportunities. As with any other investment we must focus on the likely Return On Investment rather than the upfront cost. Responding to this feedback we are pleased to launch our new service which incorporates Using Emotional Intelligence to Create High Performing Teams.

Emotional Intelligence (EI) has a powerful impact on how an individual performs at work, communicates effectively, manages relationships, overcomes challenges, manages conflict and deals with stressful situations. Ultimately it can also impact on people's job satisfaction, engagement, well-being and overall organisational performance. This programme aims to enable participants to recognise, understand and manage their emotions and behaviour and develop interpersonal and personal effectiveness. It is suitable for individuals, teams and leadership development, with the goal of creating sustainable change that drives business results.
