Bernhew Consultancy Limited

Live, lively traditional Scottish music cannot be beaten for getting a party going.   We can provide a solo accordion player or a small band with a caller.

Ceilidh dancng is fantastic for familiy gatherings or just for friends getting together, as well as being an integral part of our Scottish cultural herritage.

Or from a bunsiness perspective, if you are looking for something different for an "awayday" or staff training, remember the benefits of ceilidh dancing include:

Open to all.       

No special equipment or training is needed. Requires minimal organisation or preparation by participants, other than getting to the right place at the right time.

Everyone, regardless of role or station is equal. (It is a great leveller.)

Simple to learn 

Develops individual skills and confidence to try something new.

Enhances memory skills, mental agility and anticipation.

Provides opportunities for practising diaster recovery. (When the dance goes wrong and the music carries on!)

Enhances team cohesion (without setting out to embarass people or make them make fools of themselves).

Can be used to develop leadership and instructional skills.

Can be used as the basis for social functions where friends and partners can be brought in to see people’s new found-skills and confidence, and immediately join in and take a full part.

 Is fun, and enhances all round well-being. 

Bernie can provide a variety of Leadership and Management training packages, all of which go back to first principles and show how these can be applied in the modern age.   Political correctness forms no part of this.

If you need a new CV, a covering letter to go with an appliation, or just some general advice on career planning and job-hunting, Bernie can help.   Take a look at his profile on Linkedin to see some of the comments people have made about how he has helped them.

More and more organisations are asking for PAT certificates before allowing any electrical equipment to be used on their premises.  The PAT service from Bernhew Consultancy is quick, efficient and very cost effective.

Bernie started Portable Appliance Testing to offer this service to fellow musicians who needed PAT certificates for playing engagements.  The service has now expanded, and has included local businesses (including a dental practice and a charity shop), private landlords and a contractor working on a very large project in a local dockkyard.  Equally, customers needing just a couple of items to be tested can easily be acccommodated.  

There is a 10% discount for members of the musicians' union, and testing can be done at your location.   If you need PAT certificates for your equpment quickly, call.

If you want more information about this service or a quotation, call, email or use the Contact Us page.
