Business Trainers, Coaches, Authors and Speakers

Consultant trainers Tom Bird and Jeremy Cassell (known as ‘Tom and Jerry’ to their clients and followers) have almost 40 years’ business experience between them. Tom’s background in taking high tech/software companies public has given him broad exposure to the challenges of this industry in Europe and US. Jerry’s experience at L’Oreal and Pepsi, working in both sales and as a trainer, has given him insight into the challenges of large corporations.

They really do understand what it takes to achieve success. As trainers they have founded and grown two flourishing consulting businesses, they are the authors of 3 (soon to be 4) business books, they speak regularly around the world for clients or at conferences, and they have been profiled in the Financial Times.

A wonderful wonderful talk! Tom and Jerry are excellent speakers, who are clearly passionate about and know their stuff very well, and they presented in a very graspable and fun manner. I started reading their book on the way home, and it took 4 stops for me to realise that I had taken the tube in the wrong direction. Oops! But it’s proof that the subject matter was incredibly engaging. Thank you Tom and Jerry for a greatly informative talk!!

Seriously enjoyed the talk by Tom and Jerry. Some very useful and practical tips, very funny and really interactive. I liked how simple their Influence Model was explained and always remember to always ask what is important to people (values) in order to properly tailor your service to their needs - can't wait for the next one!
