Dods Training Team

Tom has been Director of Dods Training since 2016, after launching the international training business in 2013. He has worked with government clients in over 30 countries around the world and holds an MA in Politics (specialising in India-China relations).

Alice has worked at Dods Training for five years. As head of UK Training Alice leads on business development for UK wide training. Alice develops strong relationships with new and existing clients through gaining knowledge of their strategic learning and development gaps as well as specific team and individual needs. She engages with clients across sectors to assess capability gaps and put in place the right training solutions.

Crescencia Nga Che is responsible for our strategic vision for growth for our UK and international markets. This entails identifying and pursuing new market opportunities, developing strategic partnerships, and identifying and cultivating top consultants in support of our market expansion.

Following a 30-year career in the Civil Service Tony took over as Director of Development at Dods Training in 2007.  His role includes designing challenging policy programmes such as an ILM accredited Diploma in policy leadership and management. He delivers a wide range of policy, governance and communications training, liaises with business contacts and manages our pool of associate trainers.  

Luke Harris is our International Project Manager and is responsible for our short term international projects. Luke is also involved in the Business Development side of Dods Training and works to support Michael and Crescencia on various tasks.

Michael is responsible for our bid and tender submissions. Having spent the last five years in bids – and a further three as a copywriter – he comes directly from a managed service provider background in the staffing sector. His decade in sales and business development prior to being a copywriter gives him an excellent blend of the right skills and experience to present Dods and our trainer associates in the strongest and most compelling way.

Prior to Dods Mike spent 21 years in the Civil Service, all within the Department of Education. His last role was as Parliamentary Clerk and Departmental Select Committee Liaison Officer. In July 2008 Mike became the Head of the Parliamentary Unit at Dods Training. He now deliveries training on Parliament, Government and Legislation to various UK Government Departments, UK Private Sector companies and International clients. 

Christine comes from a career in the development/humanitarian aid sector in Canada and with the Red Cross mainly in West and East Africa. She manages all aspects of our large scale projects and high profile client relationship. Her portfolio includes government, development bank, UN clients in Africa, Middle East, the Caribbean and Latin America.
