St Thomas Training's Managing Director is David Thornicroft, who has many years' experience of working in, and delivering training for, the health and social care sector. His background is mainly residential work - in probation and bail hostels, children's homes and homes for adults with mental health needs, learning disabilities and dementia. He was a Probation Officer in the Stratford/Forest Gate area of north east London, and he set up and managed a training department for Umbrella, a mental health charity in central London.
For the past 20 years or so David has run his own training companies, firstly in Hertfordshire and latterly in Lymington, Hampshire, where St Thomas Training has its head office. Don't be fooled by our southerly location however - we are happy to deliver our training at your venue anywhere in the UK.

In Ruth's previous role as Operations Director she took care of the company finances, and the day to day running, of a private limited company which facilitated over 200 clients and employed in excess of 350 employees. With a strong customer focus, and an eye for detail, Ruth ensures that our customers receive excellent value for money and the best possible training for their employees and volunteers.
Ruth describes herself as an "organised individual who believes that building relationships help us to understand the individual needs and working pressures of both our clients and trainers alike".
