Let's Talk

Hear what some of our clients think:

Strategic Planning and Partner Alignment

Crampton Consulting Group have been an integral part of Pacific Vetcare's dramatic growth and development for over ten years. Three areas that they have made a major difference to our practice in the last 12 months are; their guidance and insight into the development of our new strategic pan, their experience and ideas for the induction of two new partners and the empowerment of our practice manager.
David JohnsonPacific Vetcare

Business Coaching

Over the past three years we have used Crampton Consulting Group to guide our staff and business to a much better place. Their business coaching package has enabled us to easily benchmark my business and by ways of simple graphs, let me know how the business and individual vets are tracking. Their training and assessing of the staff and development of a Staff Handbook has become the backbone of accountability that has helped in every facet of the business.

Team Profiling

Our team came away buzzing and focussed with a greater appreciation for each other, their personality types and their roles within the practice.

In Practice Training

The results have been fantastic. The nurses are really taking ownership of the anaesthetics and patient care which is a positive thing for them and the patients! In short, it was the best clinic training we have ever had, nurse or vet based!
Nigel ThomasPark Ridge Animal Hospital

Customer Service Intelligence

The team took away not only a better understanding and appreciation of customer service but more importantly how they can improve on this. I would have no hesitation in recommending this to practices wishing to improve the customer service aspect of their business.

ProSkills Online Learning

On being advised to complete an online course through ProSkills I thought it would be like other time consuming courses that other companies offer. Once starting the course, it was so educational and quick i couldn't believe it. I learnt so much that will help me in clinic. Thank you ProSkills for providing a quick and educational course that I will be happy to recommend to anyone in the profession. Also, some of the vets got hold of my notes and learnt a thing or two. Just shows anyone can learn from doing a ProSkills.

ProSkills Online Learning

I have participated in three Crampton Consulting Group courses covering HR and marketing subjects. CCG have given me so much fantastic advice and I've been able to implement a ton of it back in my clinic.
Alex MelroseVetcare Grey Lynn Animal Hospital

Leadership Intelligence

The course has been great and has really given me the confidence to tackle tricky staff issues. I feel that it has removed the uncertainty surrounding situations and will benefit me for years to come.
