CTP Clients

We are proud to work with some of the major household names in financial services, both in the UK and internationally developing their boards, transforming their talent and providing practical support:dynamic delivery whilst championing the compliance culture. We also provide bespoke solutions to stockbrokers and investment bankers who rarely reach the public eye.

“In 2005 we commissioned CTP to undertake a competency review. They listened well, spoke our language, took time to understand our needs and provided a workable solution in a cost effective manner. We would have no hesitation in using CTP again or recommending their services to other firms.”
John Moffatt, Compliance Director, Riverstone

I am pleased to confirm that we are clients of CTP. CTP undertake training for us on a regular basis, as part of our core regulatory training programme. We are very pleased with the results, and feedback from our staff shows that the training is expertly delivered and that the learning outcomes we require are being achieved.

“The training delivered for us is technical in nature (our own sourcebooks), CTP's ability to deliver in this area has been very impressive. Importantly for us they are able to manage groups where the experience and knowledge of individuals differs greatly, as we have a wide range of skills within the organisation.

“I view CTP as a trusted training partner that works with us to continually improve the training we offer to our staff. CTP provide a very flexible and accommodating service to meet the changing demands of our organisation and are considered a preferred supplier. We have invited CTP to submit proposals for competitive tenders on a number of occasions in addition to the courses they deliver for us, and would have no hesitation expanding our relationship with them in future.
I would therefore have no hesitation in recommending their services.”
Steve Orton, Manager, Corporate Learning, Financial Services Authority

"I am pleased to confirm that CTP carried out a Board Effectiveness review for one of the companies in which I am involved as a Non Executive Chairman. I found the review of great value in identifying, documenting, and recommending areas for more effective utilisation and development of the Board. The exercise was carried out professionally, and we greatly appreciated the insights that an external perspective gave the company. I would strongly recommend their services for companies wishing a more effectively utilisation of their Directors."
Chairman, FSA regulated Managing Agent (overseas Group)

“We are clients of CTP who have carried out two major projects for us involving consultancy, project work and training of a group of our managers. We were very happy with the results of their work which are standing the test of time and would not hesitate to recommend their services. “
Karen Martin, HR and Communications Director, Britannic Assurance

“We are clients of CTP who have carried out a large training contract and who we will use again in the future. They understand the need for flexibility and communication when conducting a large contract. They have excellent business and technical knowledge, and ensure that the trainers who fulfill the contract achieve their high standards. We were impressed with the results and have since used CTP's consultancy services in reviewing our training arrangements for our regulated staff. I am happy to recommend their services.”
Mark Sheldon, Head of Training & Competence, Alliance & Leicester

"CTP has just carried out our first externally facilitated full evaluation. I would like to see an evaluation done every 6 months and focus more and more on real issues that will drive better corporate governance. The questioning was very extensive and I have a very clear picture of what is emerging for us to do as a Board."
Non- executive Chairman

“UnumProvident became a regulated business on the 14th January 2005. This meant that we had to meet the FSA's T&C commitments. CTP provided superb advice and practical assistance in reviewing and shaping our T&C scheme. I was particularly impressed with CTP's passion to ensure our T&C scheme was sharp, effective and fit for purpose. They facilitated our thinking to ensure we not only had an effective scheme but that we built our own competence to be able to run our scheme into the future thus saving additional future cost and risk to the business.

When we finalised our updated scheme CTP kindly offered to review it before we launched this to key stakeholders and the business. They provided some extremely important feedback that added additional value to our final T&C scheme. Once again this demonstrated to me that CTP Ltd are interested whole heartedly in our business success and getting our scheme 'right first time'. This ensured our credibility as an L&D and Compliance departments was maintained and ensured the business, and all those who will deploy the scheme, have an effective tool from which to execute the scheme in practice.”
Richard Lowe, Learning and Development Manager, Unum Provident

“CTP have a thorough understanding of the "regulation" - both the letter of law and the principle, rationale and intention behind it - but more importantly the ability to be able to translate it into company process efficiently and with the minimum of fuss. All your interventions and expert recommendations - particularly in the Role Profiling arena - easily fall within this bracket.

“External validation and benchmarking - took a lot of comfort from your validation and endorsements that we were moving in the right direction.”
John Constable, Head of People Development, JLT Risk Solutions Ltd

“We are clients of CTP and in addition to their excellent training provision; we have used their consultancy services in reviewing our training arrangements for our regulated staff. I am happy to recommend their services.”

CTP's training gave me a vital opportunity to consider the Arrow 2 process and has given me a head start in preparing for this important business event
Simon McCulloch, Business Development Director, Countrywide

It goes without saying but the key to a successful ARROW visit is preparation and knowing what to expect. This course covered everything I needed to know.
Philip Roberts, Compliance Manager, Diamond Lifestyle Ltd

The trainer had superb knowledge of our company, our industry, the regulator and communicated in 'plain English'. There was no jargon. An excellent day!
Ceara Joyce, Head of Risk with Profits, Legal and General

Well thought through and presented. Thought provoking and useful in aiding our preparation for Arrow 2
J Alan Snowball, Managing Director, Countrywide

The session really made me think about the procedures behind applying the theories of RBM (risk based management). Lots of great thought provokers and break out sessions were extremely useful. The trainer provided a very thorough and astute overview of FSA requirements, industry contexts and RBM principles. Anna Mansbridge, Business Quality Technician, Allianz Cornhill
