Ruth has been amazing today.
As a trainer the motorway was closed so I was 30 minutes late to the training i was running.
As soon as I walked in Ruth helped with making sure that the group had everything they needed. even finding some people who had gone to the wrong place.
With Ruth’s help i managed to get back on track with the course. thanks
