Hear what others have to say ...

Collaborating with partners and clients is always an opportunity to learn and adapt. I value all the feedback I receive.

Kim Ellis

Founder

I’ve been working closely with Andy for the past 7 months and he has been a fantastic sounding board. He knows an awful lot about all things L&D and he is great at connecting people with each other and recommending tech.

Andy truly cares about getting to the heart of what people actually need rather than just what is wanted – and that’s evident in the dedication he puts into the discovery workshops he runs.

I’ve found Andy to be the most helpful, knowledgeable and giving person I’ve met in a long time. He exudes generosity and has a keen wit, which will always make you smile 😎

Maret Ward

Senior Learning and Development Consultant

I’ve worked with Andy for a number of years, his professional approach to seeking to understand the right solution for you on an individual perspective is something he consistently delivers upon.

I would highly recommend to anyone seeking a solution to open a conversation with him, there really isn’t anything to lose but a lot to gain. From the initial conversation through to collaborating collectively to finding the right solution to fit your needs and consistently delivers.

Pete Dixon

International Sales Manager

I’ve worked with Andy for the last couple of years and his diligence in researching my products and services made it clear that he understood my needs from our very first meeting.

There were multiple facets to my project and Andy approached every one with the same enthusiasm as I had.

A natural at getting the job done, at times it didn’t even feel like we were working.

At a time when one of my projects was delayed, instead of placing blame, Andy quickly identified the root cause and came prepared with potential solutions. A proactive and invaluable approach.

And even beyond the scope of work, I felt that we could talk about broader strategies and Andy kept in touch to ensure that he was always front of mind.

His professionalism is matched by his friendly and approachable nature, making him a pleasure to work with.

Scottish Marketer 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Client Services Director at Yatter 🤝 Content Creator at Haim & Awa 🍴 HubSpot Practitioner 🟠 Sustainability 🌱 Runner 🏃‍♂️

I worked with Andy during our time in the Selbey Anderson group of companies. Always highly professional, Andy takes the time to understand those he works with personally, too. This makes all the difference when navigating client communications and well as internal change management programmes.

I learned a lot from Andy’s deep knowledge and experience with specialist learning management systems and the topic of team training in general. This has helped me tackle complex problems in roles I’ve had since.

I don’t hesitate to recommend Andy to anyone and know he’ll go on to benefit many more businesses, perhaps in ways you’ve not yet imagined.

Bob Gregitis

Experience Senior Manager - multiple sectors

I worked with Andy on several projects in which we had engaged The Creative Engine. Andy has a amazing way of taking an idea and solidifying it through a structured approach and really bring the idea to life, this helped increase on the objectives of many of the projects.

Exceptional organised and extremely professional with a can-do attitude, I would highly recommend.

Andrew contracted me to carry out a couple of projects for him this year. I found Andrew to be a highly intelligent man who knows exactly what he wants. He is also an extremely good man manager and very calm in what is clearly a pressurised business.

I would be delighted to work for him at anytime and I whole heartedly endorse his ethics and work rate. It has been a pleasure doing business with him.

Andy has been a great resource to me as I try to navigate the world of online learning.

Working with Andy was a breeze from start to finish. From recommending the right solution through to implementation and go-live, Andy’s effective communication and willingness to go the extra mile has always left me confident in the end result.

His extensive expertise in the field of e-learning made me very comfortable that I’d made a great decision to partner with him.

Highly recommended and would work with Andy again when the need arises.

Working with Andy is a joy and a pleasure. He is professional, friendly and is able to communicate very well.

I am not especially technical but unlike other people he did not make me feel that way and communicated to me in a language I was able to understand.

Andy has helped me with a couple of projects and the outcome has been very good and of great value to our business.

Andy is always calm, nothing is too much trouble and most importantly he always has a way forward.

I am very happy to recommend Andy and look forward to working with him again soon.

Andy is the kind of person that you want to work with.

Enthusiastic, generous & exudes a positivity that you want with any project you’re working on.

Couple that with decades of experience in L&D and you’ve got a winning combination 🙂

Andy Boothroyd

Sales Director

I’ve known Andy for over 15 years and collaborated on many client projects together, primarily in the e-learning digital POS space.

Andy is a straight talker and a pragmatic problem solver, always concerned about creating the right solution for the customer. I’ve spoken to many other e-learning ‘experts’ and no one comes close to Andy’s level of expertise and knowledge.

I would highly recommend Andy for any e-learning or digital transformation project. You’d be in very capable hands.

Satnam Flora

Systems Co-orinator

My experience with Andy and the service he has provided has been great.

There was regular communication throughout the process and any questions I had were answered quickly. Everything was explained clearly, and you were happy to go over anything that I didn’t quite understand.

You took on any challenge that arose and was happy to dive deeper into any unexpected situations to understand what the best solution would be for the business.

The service provided has made a great impact to the business. Andy, I would highly recommend you to others.

Arpit Jain

Head of Delivery

I have had the pleasure of working with Andy on numerous occasions starting with contracting and later providing development services.

I always admired him for the way he ran the agency with unique and transformational ideas in the digital space and managing the clients and their expectations.

He understands the digital and learning space so well, it gives our team opportunity to work on projects with amazing user experiences and cutting edge technology!

Yujin L.

PMO Manager

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Andy since he was the MD of Creative Engine (now Orckid) and a reselling partner for Agylia (now part of Civica).

The kind of energy and enthusiasm he brings to every L&D project is precisely what every HR/ People team needs. Not to mention the years of experience he has under his belt and his highly developed customer care skills.

If you’re wondering what it would be like to work with Andy and his team, I can guarantee you’ll be in good hands.

Esra AR

Associate Product Marketing Manager, Google

I worked with TCE (now Aprendido) for almost a year on various projects that involved creating mobile apps made for training purposes.

TCE has been by far my favourite partner to work with, thanks to their due diligence, efficiency, ease of communication and professionalism.

They taught us the overall importance of interactive training content, an important future consideration for our team. I look forward to another opportunity of working with them.

Andy always knows the answer and thats why I kept going back and back for the answers. He certainly knows his stuff and knows how to get the job done.
