George Blakeway
George founded Fruitful Developments to create an organisation that really delivers results to their clients. He believes in getting people to learn through experience and incorporates pragmatic active sessions into all Fruitful’s interventions.
After a short career as an Army Officer, George read Management Science at Loughborough University. His commercial experience began with ChevronTexaco where he spent five years in Sales, Sales Management and finally as a Training and Development Consultant. This was followed by five years at Coca-Cola where he achieved a great deal of success in Senior Sales Management, National Account Management and as a National Sales Trainer.
George then decided to move into Learning and Development full-time and was appointed Director of Training at an international recruitment and training consultancy. After two very successful years of both training and managing the business he founded Fruitful Developments. In addition to his degree he has a Marketing Diploma and an Industry Studies Diploma. He is also qualified to use the Myers Briggs Type Instrument.
George has worked with clients in Hong Kong, Australia, South Africa, Slovakia, Finland, Portugal and France – and enjoys travel which is a good job really!
A keen sportsman, having played professional rugby union, he now enjoys golf, tennis, cricket and squash when he can. George also has 2 young sons so is looking forward to a time when travelling becomes a little bit easier again!
