Professional
I would like to thank PH and PK for the professional manner in which you delivered the two day "Business Plan Rectification" workshop. It was exactly what was needed and was of great value.
As you are aware I have spent a long period of time researching and writing the Lifestyle Vouchers International Business Plan and had been assisted by a number of other Business Advisers along the way. You, however brought with you considerable business experience and have developed the Plan into a document that can be implemented in the real world and one that gives us confidence for the future.
