In their words, not mine

“We had a great call with Andy where he shared his broad expertise on Learning Management Systems, to help us determine the right solution 'for our needs', in selecting a provider to deliver all our LMS requirements.”

“I was introduced to Andy Candler through another L&D Solution provider as someone that could help us frame what we believe we needed in a new LMS/LMX system. His knowledge and experience in this space reassured us that he'd taken into consideration all our needs and some we hadn't thought of before recommending companies and platforms to look at further. His offer of further assistance was also appreciated and may be used in the future to get the solution we choose implemented and embedded in our organisation.”

“Andy's approach to learning and development feels refreshingly human, he listens first, asks the right questions, and then builds solutions that actually fit your organisation rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all approach. What impressed me most was how Andy balanced strategic thinking with practical execution. Andy's network and industry knowledge are impressive, but it's his genuine investment in your success that makes the difference. He's the rare consultant who cares more about your results than his next sale.”

“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.”

“Andy has been a great resource to me as I try to navigate the world of online learning. He has provided helpful information, innovative suggestions, and has been patient as I move very slowly through the process. He is easy to work with, very flexible and very knowledgeable. I'm looking forward to continuing to work with and learn from him.”

“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.”

“Andy is the kind of person that you want to work with. Enthusiastic, generous and 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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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 as 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.”

“I worked with Andy on several projects in which we had engaged The Creative Engine. Andy has an amazing way of taking an idea and solidifying it through a structured approach and really bringing the idea to life, this helped increase on the objectives of many of the projects. Exceptionally 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 any time and I whole heartedly endorse his ethics and work rate. It has been a pleasure doing business with him.”

“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.”

“I have known Andy for years. He is personable, in a way that he really engages with you and you soon realise he will always give you 100%. He is knowledgeable, in fact been around so long he knows his business inside and out, which shows with his calm attitude to any problem. I would recommend Andy to anyone he can help.”

“I worked with Andy on a number of e-learning projects during my time at Orckid. Andy was professional, knowledgeable and always went the extra mile to deliver an outstanding level of service to our clients. Highly recommended!”

“I have worked with Andy and the TCE team for over 16 years! How time flies. From small projects perched at the spare desk to the exciting retail and learning projects we deliver today. Andy and the Creative Engine team are very skilled and great guys to work with. It's great to be a part of the success story.”

“In any supplier relationship, I want great value for money, on-time delivery, with inspirational thought and ideas and a real sense that they understand what I am trying to do with the business and a determination to help me make that happen. In Andy and his company I get all of this. What more could I ask for? Be open and involving with him and you'll get the same.”

“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 were 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.”

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

“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 and 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.”

“Andy always knows the answer and that's why I kept going back and back for the answers. He certainly knows his stuff and knows how to get the job done.”

“14 years after we first worked together, the day I met you remains the best day's work I ever did. In my opinion your ability to make the complex simple and deliver beyond expectations keeps you miles ahead of any competition. You are a can-do company and it has always been a pleasure working with you.”

“Andrew has provided innovative solutions for me as a client time after time. Andrew puts the “wow” not only into the final solution, but also into the help and support along the way.”
