1. Training Providers
   Hi

   There are lots of options including asking in this fora for specific titles

   You can try the Training Manager’s handbook and Trainerbase. I am happy to make recommendations for various companies in specific areas we have had to use. I am sure the responses to this posting will generate lots of signposts for you

   Good luck

2. Training suppliers
   Nigel
   You have probably already considered this but the Institute for the Motor Industry can advise on training suppliers. Details at http://www.motor.org.uk/

   If you are after freelance trainers with specific expertise (eg management training, sales training) then advertise on web sites (or in magazines, if the budget allows). Selecting those that are good rather than just available, however, is a potentially time consuming task. If you can get recommendations about groups of associates then that might be your best bet. It would give you access to several trainers at once who are used to working with each other (and are happy with each others’ standards). You might start by asking here on this site for recommendations, but you will need to give more information about the requirement first.
   Best of luck

3. Additional Resource
   Nigel,

   I would suggest either carrying out a specific search of trainers or posting a tender (both are free) on http://www.trainerbase.co.uk. If posting a tender give strict guidelines and as much information as possible as to your requirements, skills,experience, fees, etc.
