I attended Mark’s LinkedIn workshop in Manchester last week and was staggered by the breadth of content covered. Mark went through the basics and lots of more technical information that I would never have utilized had I not attended this course. Since attending I have completely rewritten my profile, joined some groups and am being far more proactive in my choice of who to connect to, I have also begun to set up a company profile (something I hadn’t thought about before!).
Victoria Braddock, Media Investment Management
Thanks for the training last week Mark – lots of useful tips and hints to help improve how we can use LinkedIn for our organisation! Very clear presenting style, covering everything you’d need to know about LinkedIn with additional support after the course.
Karen Hall, MidKent College
It was evident Mark was an expert. The content was extensive and Mark was able to adapt the content to each attendees background for maximum effect. From profile optimisation to gaining business leads, the course covered everything I needed to really tackle LinkedIn head on. Mark has also gone on to provide feedback long after I attended the course.
Andrew Murphy, Bond Dickinson
Having recently taken the LinkedIn For Business session, I found it incredibly useful – not only did it cover the basics and how to, Mark makes it easier to adapt the trickier aspects of LinkedIn that can really help make a difference.
Louise Barfield, Circus
Thanks Mark for the very informative course. The whole programme was well organised and interactive. Great place to be for getting new ideas for my personal and business LinkedIn accounts.
Ksenia Semina, Analytik
I thought that my profile looked good, I was wrong! I only knew this after the thorough and in-depth lesson I/we were taught at Mark’s LinkedIn Training School of Excellence. If you want to promote yourself and your business more efficiently, then this is the course for you. Extremely highly recommended!!!! Excellent.
Adrian Baxter, Talk Internet
This course most definitely does what it says on the tin! Mark has an excellent style and has very detailed knowledge of Linked in. He adapted perfectly to the individual needs of our group. I have already recommended to 4 additional colleagues. Don’t miss out!
Helen Green, Quest Leadership
Mark’s LinkedIn workshop last week in Bristol was very well presented, being logical and sequential, providing useful insight and allowing all attending to derive their own context. If you are looking to move from passive subscriber to active user of LinkedIn in a way that will get you noticed, a session with Mark is without doubt, a good investment.
Andrew Stroud, Design Activity
I attended Mark’s workshop in Manchester last week and found it very useful. I would definitely recommend this for other people in business. I am looking forward to getting more business from the groups I have joined. Many thanks, Leah
Leah Goodliffe, Compass Venue Search
LinkedIn is easy to navigate with no background knowledge but you won’t get the best out of it without fully understanding what it offers – so if you need to use LinkedIn for business purposes you should definitely attend Mark’s course first! The course material is well presented (with a useful how to section that you can take away) and Mark is an easy going and knowledgeable trainer. I learnt a lot from this short course and would highly recommend it.
Alison Barnes, Datong Plc
I recently attended the LinkedIn workshop feeling disappointed that previous attempts to build my network of business opportunities were not working so I was keen to see how the training could help. Mark showed us a different way to approach prospects and I have increased my number of contacts by 10 in the last week-I am delighted!
Louise Stevenson, Graham & Brown
I wanted to thank you for the training yesterday as I have learnt so much from it. The content was informative, the delivery was fun and, I must admit, that I had no idea of how much I didn’t know about LinkedIn. I’ll look forward to the next course 🙂
Kevin Hayler, Annecto UK Ltd
I found the LinkedIn for Business Course very useful and well organised.I thought I was using LinkedIn quite profitably before, but applying the new tips and using the new tools I learnt during the course gave both my personal profile and my company page quite a boost in just two weeks. Mark left a lot of space for questions and tailored the presentation to the participants’ goals and requests. Very good value for money and a pleasant, highly informative course.
Francesca Black, i-PAYE Ltd
The session was packed full with useful information and practical advice. It brought alive for me the potential of LinkedIn, which I had possibly underestimated. 24 hours on and I’ve already made some fundamental changes to my profile and have new ideas on how to integrate my marketing strategy using LinkedIn as a more pivotal component. Thank you, Mark.
Siobhan Soraghan, Active Insight Consulting Ltd
I attended the LinkedIn for business workshop earlier this month and found the course informative and, above all, excellent value for money. Mark has an easy going style, with a fair degree of humour, that made the morning pass enjoyably. For people seeking to exploit the potential of LinkedIn for the marketing of their business, I highly recommend the experience
Peter Raza
The session covered a great deal of LinkedIn’s capability and Mark provided a great insight and many practical tips of how to use it, both for personal and business use. I found it particularly useful, with its interactive nature, and especially Mark’s excellent style and engagement. Thank you.
Amy Graham
I found the LinkedIn for Business Success training very useful and Mark managed to make it applicable and accessible to everyone who attended. I would definitely recommend for anyone who is looking to take full advantage of what LinkedIn has to offer.
Laura Card
If you are about to start using LinkedIn for your business – go to Mark’s seminar at first. He will not only provide you with valuable information, but will give important tips how to avoid common mistakes and not to annoy or even lose your potential customers. Thanks Mark!

Mark’s course was both fascinating and useful. He has a way of putting the room at ease and allowing one to feel comfortable asking any question without the worry of seeming ignorant among colleagues or strangers and his answers are informative and entertaining – as is the whole course. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend attending one of his workshops to both complete beginners and those who feel they are advanced users. Everyone will come away with some useful knowledge.
Simon Trimarco
We found Mark’s training to be of real benefit. Good location, and a very worthwhile afternoon. Mark kept the content relevant and topical. Would highly recommend.
Darin Burrows
Mark White delivered an interesting and highly relevant session for us; we are big users of Linked in and I think we all came away thinking “wish Id done that years ago”! I came away with some fantastic tips that we have used across our organisation which I have no doubt has added value. I have no hesitation in recommending this course to any of my contacts, from beginner to the competent user, and would be keen to be kept informed of other relevant courses to attend in the future!
Bridget Elliott

His support has been key to improving our company page. I thoroughly enjoyed this course and would highly recommend it.

I recently attended Mark’s course on LinkedIn Training and would very much recommend it. I had a basic knowledge of LinkedIn, but following his advice has now given me confidence that I am presenting myself and my business in the best possible way. Apart from excellent content and delivery, Mark is very personable and succeeded in involving everyone present, whatever their level of LinkedIn knowledge.
