the directors

algate’s directors are sought after as consultants, trainers, advisors and organisation developers and have a well-founded reputation as trainers of trainers.  We incorporate best practice and innovation in all our products and services, including our approach to learning.

algate directors share common values and understandings about development and its purpose and meaning for individuals, business and the community. 

We understand first hand the challenges and joys of working deliberately as an organisation to extend ourselves and continually to improve and strengthen our functioning.
