Training & Development for Business
Whatever business you’re in, there are core skills you can’t outsource, from leadership and management to basics like first aid.
But there’s more than one way to bring those skills in-house. It doesn’t have to be
regular training, like a one-way lecture – it can be personal, more like coaching or
mentoring for each individual learner.
That’s how we work at MEP. And that’s how we’ll get you results.
Develop your people…
Develop your business
Who are your stars of the future?
Every business is rife with hidden talent. People recruited for one linear purpose, who could be so much more – if only someone would see their potential and give them the chance to grow.
You’ve probably seen them in action. New starters full of promise, tied to repetitive tasks. Team leaders focused on KPIs, when they should be making decisions. Able people who share your mission, who live and breathe your culture… ready to step up and help you set a new direction.
It starts with us. Through training and coaching, we’ll develop all your future stars. So 5… 10… 15… years from now, when the torch has passed, succession hasn’t weakened you. It’s only made you stronger.

Case Study
Bespoke conflict management for Balfour Beatty employees
As the UK’s largest construction provider, Balfour Beatty has thousands of staff and contractors working in high pressure environments. Keen to improve working relationships – and ultimately, productivity – they asked us to train their teams in the art of conflict management.
When we met, we gave them two distinct options:
- Teach the regulated Level 2 qualification, with a few essential changes to add an industry context.
OR
- Create a custom programme, to meet the highly specific challenges that spark discord in their business.
They chose the custom option, because – in their business – context is all-important. It meant swapping the formal qualification for certified attendance, but this was an easy decision given the chance to create a unique addition to their training suite.
In the client’s own words:
“We at Balfour Beatty strive to create a safe working environment for all our staff. This is sometimes assured through impactful training on topics that add value to the daily operations of all our internal stakeholders. Minerva Elite Performance worked incredibly hard to ensure that the training was engaging, thought-provoking, but most importantly added operational value.”

Molly was our main point of contact, and from start to finish, she was absolutely spot on.
The students really enjoyed the session and said it would be great if she could deliver more courses for the next group of Uniformed Protective Services students coming through. We will definitely be getting MEP back in.

Re-entering an academic training environment was a daunting prospect after several years decades away from it!
In hindsight there really was no need whatsoever for concern, the Minerva Team are small and perfectly formed, from my initial first contact through to finishing the qualification they were always there to support me every step of the way.

MEP has been the trusted training partner for the Gulab Sorkh Foundation as we seek to build independence in the Afghan evacuees we support.
They have developed an excellent programme of English language training with an emphasis on good citizenship and employment skills. This is delivered by MEP professionals sensitively and effectively. The MEP service has been truly first rate and we couldn’t recommend them more.

We have worked with MEP to shape this delivery, so it meets the requirements of an ever-changing programme.
MEP has shown flexibility, adapting to the changes we require in a cooperative and positive manner. This is what is needed when delivering a programme that changes on a frequent basis. I highly recommend Minerva Elite Performance and feel that they will provide excellent support to other Local Authorities and organisations.
