The people behind Brindis
Founder and Principal Consultant: Fred Copestake
Brindis was formed in response to an opportunity with a global brewer to establish training and development capabilities for the EMEA market.
Since then Brindis has expanded horizons to work with a broader commercial focus.
As the scope of the business has widened so has geographical spread with activity now having taken place in over 35 countries across EMEA, the Americas and APAC. Brindis can therefore boast true international experience.
A wealth of sales expertise.
We use a team of top Sales Consultants and Trainers with experience across many industries, different types of businesses and geographies.
Key to success are the Lead Consultants who bring a wealth of knowledge to projects and a focus on delivering value in all they do.
Everyone involved with Brindis shares the philosophy that we work for the benefit of our clients and that objectives should be aligned to deliver the results that matter.
