Events & Training

The Purple Edge have presented a number of training seminars across Kent with both Business Link and Canterbury Christ Church University. With many years experience in managing marketing programmes, and as Small Business Champion for the Kent Chartered Institute of Marketing, Sharon Wilding is able to speak knowledgeably and practically about making marketing work for your business.

The Purple Edge has been running a successful 1-1 coaching programme for small businesses owners and managers who want to improve their personal skills and effectiveness in marketing and are now launching a new programme of group coaching where the peer to peer networking and support will particularly suit smaller budgets and start up companies.

"The Purple Edge understand what we do at Elmstone but are able to take a detached view of 'where next' with practical marketing ideas. I would thoroughly recommend their services." Louise Perryman, Elmstone Systems, January 2010

Please get in touch if you would like to talk to Sharon or Jim about speaking at your event or if you want more details on the coaching programmes offered.
