Bridge Marketing Partnership was founded in 1995. Its core business is an HR consultancy that works with organisations to cultivate employers of excellence. It works to integrate best practice in training, development and human resources management into all areas of the business. The 'bridge' has always been about relationships and one of our great enjoyments is facilitate meetings, away days, etc so that all those involved have the opportunity to participate and that desired outcomes are met. New initiatives In February 2009, the business expanded to represent Business Options (www.businessoptions.biz) in the Midlands. Business Options, based in Hampshire with offices around the UK, works with successful companies looking for their next stage of growth, whether that is organic, through acquisitions, distributorships, agencies, licensing agreements or franchising. Business Options is accredited by both the British Franchise Association and Irish Franchise Association. A milestone in Bridge Marketing Partnership was November 2007 when Carole became accredited in the use of Tetramap. Tetramap is a behaviour profiling tool that came out of New Zealand. Carole has used it on a number of workshops with a variety of clients - all who enjoyed the exercises and came away with greater understanding and appreciation of their colleagues. Track record We have an excellent track record of working with companies to achieve Investors in People and now bring this expertise into the twenty first century as we help employers on the road to Investors in Excellence. Relationships In Bridge Marketing Partnership, partnership does not designate a legal entity. Carole Manship is a sole trader. Partnership means that Carole cares about relationships - with clients and with colleagues and works in collaboration as a matter of course. There are two colleagues of particular importance to Bridge Marketing Partenership: Janet Smith, who works closely with Carole as a senior consultant on Human Resource assignments and the other is Annmarie Hanlon of Evonomie, the principal consultant on all Marketing consultancy projects. Bridge Marketing Partnership has recently passed through two quality assurances: firstly as an approved consultant on Business Link's register and secondly as a 5 star registered member of Skillfair.
Our work falls into two categories:
Carole works with companies to improve communication, achieve Investors in People, run successful staff days and conferences, implement effective appraisal systems and to develop competency dictionaries. Carole is a fellow of the Chartered Institute of Personnel & Development (CIPD) and in 2006 was awarded the badge of merit by the CIPD for her contribution to the local branch and particularly her efforts in improving relationships with the CIPD and businesses in the community. Carole served as an assessor for Birmingham City Council’s work life balance awards panel and has recently become an assessor for the Investors in Excellence award. She is also a member of the Chartered Management Institute. Drawing on more than 20 years as a senior manager in human resources, Janet provides clients with advice and implementation of a range of HR services in the areas of recruitment, staff handbooks, training and development and disciplinary procedures. She also serves as an investigator looking into complaints of discrimination and dignity at work issues. Janet is a member of the Chartered Institute of Personnel & Development.
