"BMT has enabled Volvo to capitalise on the inherent knowledge and skills of our people by teaching them how to change their own environment, remove obstacles, and lead at every level. The training is different to most, it’s traceable - we know the benefits of the investment because they are clearly measurable following each course."
Martin Merrick, President and CEO - Volvo Group Australia
"From 2011 to 2013, we have reduced our reportable injuries from 26 down to 3. I believe that a significant part of this reduction has been due to the roll out of BMT for Safety and our staff's use of Behavioural Science to improve the way we work."
Peter Farrer, Chief Executive Officer - Scottish Water
"The approach implemented at Bertha has certainly helped the project success."
Paul Byford, Alliance Manager, Capital Investment - Scottish Water

I would not hesitate to recommend Hollin for this work."

I always enjoy working with Howard and the team."
Pippa Milne, Waste Services Manager - The City of Edinburgh Council
"My personal favourites were Howard Lees and Rachel Edwards. It was an epiphany for me as I listened to Howard - to encourage more women into IT and IT organizations what is really required along with better education and awareness of the opportunities is a change in behaviour."
Maggie Morrison - HP

“As the senior management team on the Thameslink Programme, we engaged Hollin to work with us on developing our understanding of behavioural safety and how to implement the learning to improve the safety culture and outcomes on the Programme. The mix of theory and practical application on the behavioural course, together with the assignments we completed, have helped us to better appreciate some of the key drivers for safety behaviours and how we can provide the right environment and framework for improved safety performance."
Simon Blanchflower, Major Programmes Director -Thameslink

John Dowsett, Major Programmes Director- Octavius
There are moments in your life when you have a light bulb moment! This is what happened to me the first time I was exposed to BMT. Rachel Edwards has been such an inspiration for me. I have been practicing BMT for circa 6 years. When I took the Managing Director role for my business in 2018, I can now say that this was the best preparation for it. It acts as a decoder for you as a leader to navigate through your business day and the different environments you experience. I would recommend without any hesitation for anyone to start becoming familiar with BMT.
