Barry Moles delivered the Skyline Commercial Training for Charity Shops to our full team of Managers and Assistant Managers. The day was informative, fun and covered several key areas which kept interest levels high. The feedback we received was the most positive I have heard for many years with long serving Managers taking fundamental action to improve sales and gift aid as a direct response to what they had learnt.

I have found Skyline to be professional, responsive and straightforward to work with, I have no hesitation in recommending Skyline. The Health Check and Strategic Review have proved to be value for money and have certainly focused the hospice team.

We had a full days training with the managers of both hospice’s which me and fellow CEO attended. The training day was very specific to maximise the main areas of weakness. Barry was a motivational high energy trainer who certainly made the session into an interactive highly charged event with lots of fun.

Skyline Business Services conducted a health check of our charity shops and I was impressed by the wealth of experience and good information they brought to the table. The briefing they gave me at the end of the health check was invaluable, and we finished the review with a workshop for staff and volunteers which for me was a real highlight, run by Barry and presented extremely professionally. Everyone went away motivated, understanding their achievements already, and ready to implement improvements. We are now using the strategy they produced to take our retail operations to the next level.

I would not hesitate to recommend Skyline to any charity, especially the Skyline Health Check and commercial training. I have found the Skyline team very professional, highly knowledgeable, supportive and they have helped us resolve some inherent long-term challenges leaving us in a good place to take retail forward.

I highly recommend Skyline to any charity looking to unlock the full potential of its retail portfolio. Skyline's knowledge and expertise in Charity Retail is unparalleled. Their Skyline Health Check proved invaluable in identifying areas for improvement while highlighting both quick wins and longer-term solutions to help increase revenue and profitability. Additionally, Skyline provided commercial training to our retail staff, which has put us in a great position to pursue our ambitious growth strategy.
