Additionally we also have a high spec joinery manufacturing workshop which delivers a bespoke and luxury touch to the housing projects. This is of vital importance, as we are a driven company and thrive on providing constant client satisfaction, both with our process and the end result. In order to achieve this EHA Group treats all our clients with the same level care and respect and professionalism. We like to offer all our services from design to build through our bespoke joinery package finishes. This proves that EHA Group will be on board from inception to completion. We always like to know exactly what the client wants as their end product and have a constant line of communication throughout the project to ensure all clients’ needs are met. Moving forward we have a brand new bespoke office in NI that was created with staff engagement in mind, involving free spaces and open plan areas to allow free flowing atmosphere throughout office which allows staff to communicate openly and creates a productive enjoyable environment. The new office/building has been a great success, and the level of commitment returned from the staff is very encouraging. I also feel that by listening to staff about their ideas/thoughts and letting them have some input is important when decision making. Although sometimes this can be harder to manage, people need to use their heads and must be allowed to make a lot of their own decisions. I think it helps them stay loyal and work more as a group hence a better output. This new office helps the firm to achieve its long term goal: to build and diversify the company so that it will grow, develop and be recognised both nationally within the UK and Ireland to be one of the leading employers.
Personal Trainer of the Year 2016 - Cheshire
Empower Personal Training Limited
I am a Personal Trainer, Fitness Instructor and Swimming Coach working in the Macclesfield, Knutsford and Alderley Edge areas. I work with clients in various locations, including health clubs, gyms, their homes and the great outdoors. My clients range in age from 13 years to 60 +years. Their goals vary from weight loss & management, rehabilitation, triathlon & running events to general wellbeing. For swimming lessons I teach from as young as 20 months all the way through to adult beginners and triathlon practice. I am constantly looking to broaden my experience and qualifications in order to offer a wider range of services to my clients. I have always led and enjoyed an active lifestyle, from the age of 13 I assisted in swimming lessons after school. I undertook my first swimming instructor award at the age of 16, continuing to teach and carry this out as a part time job. I have been able to develop my skills and gain further qualifications in a broader range of fitness pursuits; these include as a Gym or Fitness Class Instructor with qualifications in indoor cycling, kettlebells, functional movement, core ball and boxercise. This in turn led me to qualify as a Personal Trainer in 2013. Currently fitness is a high growth industry which I think will continue, however, there are a number of issues and aspects to keep on top of such as medical issues, CRB, new equipment and, of course, the latest trends. People are individuals and value being treated as such. A big part of my service as a Personal Trainer is that I tailor each programme to my clients’ individual needs. I have been very fortunate in the opportunities that have come my way through the organisations that I have worked for. As with any profession there are always hurdles, but I strive to overcome them with a smile on my face! Currently I do not have any employees, but wherever I work, I try to create an environment that is positive and enjoyable. In terms of the approach I take when taking on a new client. I meet first with them to discuss their particular wants and needs. Following this, I structure a programme individual to each client. Their “journey” will involve working closely with me on a ‘one-to-one’ basis, but I like to provide them with additional exercises, activities and, possibly, nutritional advice to further help them achieve their goals.
