"Chris and Alex designed and ran a brilliant course for the brand & category teams at Bugaboo. The teams needed upskilling and refreshing on the foundations of marketing and we also used the course as an opportunity to promote better cross-team work and collaboration. I’m delighted to say it was a huge success."

Bridget O’Lone – Global Brand Director, Bugaboo

“Chris and Alex have a wealth of industry experience between them and have created brilliantly engaging content punctuated with memorable anecdotes and sage advice. I’m looking forward to embedding what I’ve learned into my day job.”

Nicola Matthews -Marketing Manager, Tony’s Chocolonely

"The content was excellent across all modules using a mix of academic thinking, practical tools, and great case studies from a range of brands – often which Alex or Chris have worked on – to bring them to life. If you have ever met Alex or Chris – you won’t need me to tell you how engaging they both are and put them together in a room and they deliver their materials with oodles of fun & energy. My team are already asking when they are coming back...”

Niall Mckee – Brand Director, Yeo Valley

"I can’t recommend Chris and Alex O highly enough. The Marcomms training they provided for UKTV through Locksmith was rich, impactful, educational and entertaining all rolled into one. They are experts in their field and you’d be hard pressed to beat them."

Kerry Goode – Director of Communications, UKTV & Head of Communications

“By far the best training course I've ever done. Chris and Alex are such engaging and passionate teachers and created a lovely, supportive atmosphere too. The course covered everything I hoped it would and has provided me with an invaluable toolkit to help me day-to-day and given me confidence to face future challenges with.”

Clare Stiles -Head of Marketing, Peter’s Yard

Neil Skinner – Marketing Director, Edrington UK

“Locksmith have been fantastic in helping to upskill my team and myself. Chris and team carefully tailored their curriculum to our needs, prepared very thoroughly and went an extra mile to deliver to the brief (or a few thousand extra miles in case of Bangkok!).”

Nick Ganich – Marketing Director, Beam Suntory
