Our Team

Malcolm Lowrey

Director and Facilitator

With a working background spread across Policing, Private Investigations, Construction and hospitality, Malcolm has the stories to frame up discussion points and to keep his participants both engaged and entertained.

“Policing was a fantastic learning arena and gave strong insight into powers of effective communication, particularly when working under stress. “ 

He has worked with both public and private sector organisations in establishing leadership capability, risk management, health and safety development and improving service quality.

He has formal qualifications in adult education, adult literacy, project management and policing and holds a Bachelor of Commerce Degree from Canterbury University.

“I discovered early on as a trainer that explaining the complexity of models and concepts is wasted time, it’s revealing their simplicity and linking them to existing frames of reference that creates results and this is what drives me in my sessions.”
