GOODBYE AND THANK YOU

Over the last few weeks I have made public my intention to retire towards the end of the year. I have also expressed a wish to sell off the operating companies or the training programmes I have developed over the years.

I have already received some interest and in response to that I have written up what I can only call a ‘sales prospective’. If you would like a copy please send me an email and I will forward you one.

Although I will be retiring it is not my intention to stop training altogether. For the next year or so I will be more selective in what I do. In particular:

  • I will continue to respond to requests for personal tuition 
  • I will accept invitations to give public presentations 
  • The selection of courses, as promoted on the website, will be reduced 
  • Dates for public programmes, as shown on the website, will not be updated 
  • My interest in training outside the UK has not diminished and invitations to run programmes abroad will always be considered 

However this will be the last Newsletter. 

I have lost track of how many Newsletters I have sent over the last 20 years and feel very satisfied that the opt-outs are well below 10% of the total on my data base.

I have run, in the UK and abroad, many hundreds of reading courses and trained many thousands of individuals. Many have recommended me to their family, friends or work colleagues and just this week I received another booking through a recommendation; three this month! I can never thank enough those who have recommended me.

As I say goodbye I part with a sincere thank you for the support you have all given me over the years. It has been appreciated.

Thank you

Paul Hobbs
