tsolutions was established in July 2001. As a boutique training and development consultancy, we’ve helped organisations to develop one of their greatest assets, their people.
We are a friendly and lively company who specialise in corporate business development, training services and training products and are proud of our refreshingly different approach. We use themes to add impact, group energisers such as authentic African tribal drumming to stimulate team bonding, and an array of services that are guaranteed to add sparkle and fun to the staff development arena.
“Creativity and innovations are the hallmarks of our approach” says Gillian Tinney, Managing Director. “We discovered a growing demand for something a bit different to help people develop their knowledge and skills. We’d been using our own training games and products that sit alongside and support the delivery of our own training for years. One too many of our delegates/students suggested that we start to produce and sell these so that other organisations, or enthusiasts, can use and benefit from these entertaining learning reinforcement tools as well. So that’s just what we’ve done!”
“the games are affordable and entertaining….useful for the business world or just for fun at home or on holiday!”
tsolutions has created a number of excellent and affordable training games and learning tools on a variety of subjects including customer service, wines, spirits and wine service! Aimed at developing and reinforcing knowledge, these games are great fun and can be used in the business world or just for fun at home or perhaps on holiday!
“As an organisation, we are highly dependent on the skills of our workforce.
Cleverdotsolutions took our breath away with their initial proposals. They were extremely radical yet we decided to take the plunge and go for it.

With an ear-battering explosion of pigskin power and an ayee! or three, entrepreneurs in York and North Yorkshire literally drummed up business at the tribal pinstriped pow-wow at the Hilton Hotel in York.
First came the sedate European-style exchange of business cards, then at the climax of stirring recorded Lion King chantings the ferocious kerbloom of firecracker pyrotechnics triggered the savage pummelling of South African drums from business people who had formed themselves into tabletop tribes.
The transformation was orchestrated by Cleverdotsolutions Ltd’s Gillian Tinney, who appointed a tribal chief for each table to orchestrate their own fusillade of hand-fluttering.
She was illustrating the fact that one of the main criteria for creating motivated business teams is a sense of fun. Hence the need for the competing tabletop tribes to create their own name identity. The result: Battling it out on the bongos included the likes of Mojo, the Chamber Pots, the Sexy Stallions, the Phakawi, the Wannabee Survivors and the Chamber Cheetahs. Listening carefully to them was Ron Godfrey, South African-born Evening Press business editor, who crowned himself with his own personal grass-woven Basuto hat, sign of a great chief judge. He transferred the headgear to Andrew Thompson, of York chartered accountants Garbutt & Elliott, who as chief of the Virgin on the Ridiculous table tribe, proved that he and his ten-person team could beat the drum for England – and earn a tiny teddy bear and a bottle of white wine for each of them, courtesy of the Hilton”.
Importantly for Dawsongroup plc, Gillian continues to this day to be trustworthy and a producer of quality work, which is why Gillian was my first choice to create and deliver our Business Mastery courses. Knowing she would approach the task using her characteristic logic and inimitable style, she would meet the remit. Gillian has designed, and continues to deliver, a series of modules in an academy style-training environment that is fun and contemporary yet engaging and challenging. It also encourages inter-divisional connections and diversity too, which is a bonus.
The Business Mastery Programme is now Dawsongroup’s in-house and on-going business studies programme that develops and prepares our employees for the day-to-day challenges of business”.
