Case Study – Richard Slee In January 2012, Richard Slee, PR & Media Relations Manager at the Department of Economic Development contacted us to design and deliver some bespoke copywriting training. “I heard about tailor made training at Chelsea College of Art and Design via word of mouth. After briefing the College on our requirements, I received a bespoke course outline from the tutor and booked the session. The whole process was very efficient. All the attendees on the course found it highly enjoyable, informative and extremely beneficial to the work we do. We would use Chelsea College of Art & Design again for bespoke training.”
