Course Advisor Brings Wealth of Experience to Team

October 2013

John Ellis joins the Astutis Course Advisory team this month from SMTS where he was responsible for the implementation of NEBOSH IGC courses across Africa and the Middle East, before which he occupied a key business development role at Santia.

For over 6 years John was instrumental in developing relationships with key clients including the Royal Mint, Welsh Water and Severn Trent Water to name but 3.

Steve Terry, Managing Director at Astutis said:

"It's great to have John as part of the team here at Astutis. He knows the ropes and will slot in very well. Having worked with him before, I know that he will add considerable value to our team of trained course advisors and will be able to hit the ground running. Welcome on board John."

John will largely be covering the South West region although with his wealth of experience he is ideally placed to support our international team.

John is an ardent football fan and Cardiff City season ticket holder. Married 25 years he has two daughters ­ who also share his passion.

He says:
It’s great to be back working with Steve and many other familiar faces from CHSS days. The rest of the Astutis team have made me feel very welcome and there is plenty of football banter flying around! With a steadily increasing number of venues both in the UK and overseas, Astutis is growing fast. I am really looking forward to being a part of its success in the coming months.

  • "The course was helpful in guiding the most important points to assimilate. The book is well written and structured. The tutor used a slightly different structure which avoided the onkine course being labourious and instead made it more valuable with a different angle on things. The tutor was knowledgeable & friendky and approchable. Made me feel relaxed & trusting in him and my own abilities too."
