Peopleplan is the second e-learning business I've established since leaving my role of training manager with a major retail chain almost 18 years ago. When we launched the new brand in 2010 it was important to me that we continued to keep highlighting the benefits of on-line learning above 'old school' methods of delivering information. It was also very important to the new team, almost read more...

I was completely taken in. read more...
Last week I re-watched the hit movie Catch Me If You Can which has recently been added to Netflix. It’s a cracking yarn where a youthful looking Leo plays the role of Frank Abagnale who was such a great conman in 1960’s America, the FBI turned to him for expert advice during his time in jail and actually employed him upon his release.
