Thank you Jon - very much appreciated.
What do you love most about your job?
Giving clients the tools to navigate the most emotive and challenging situations that they will encounter in business.
Our experience is that our services not only improves commercial outcomes, they also make challenging conversations less daunting.
Negotiation Training is an outstanding commercial investment, but understanding the link between this skillset and resilience can be life-changing.
What inspired you to start your own business?
Gareth Roberts founded Brass Tacks to provide the freshest and most accessible Negotiation Training experience available, delivering a compelling financial return to clients investing in our service.
During a 17 year corporate career in Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices, Gareth developed a reputation for building and leading top-performing commercial organisations, consistently exceeding performance expectations against P&Ls measured in the tens and hundreds of millions of pounds.
Driving this has been his ability, time after time, to secure enhanced deal outcomes when negotiating eight-figure contracts both in the UK and around the world.
Gareth has been fortunate to work with numerous talented Negotiators and Negotiation Training providers over this time, learning first-hand what actually works in the real world and, just as importantly, what falls flat outside the safety of the training room.
This journey led to the creation of Brass Tacks: a simple Negotiation system concerned purely with immediate, practical use, actively seeking to limit the use of jargon and unnecessary academic detail. It is for this reason that our Consultants are typically not just trainers, but active Negotiators with day jobs, applying the concepts that we teach day-after-day across a wide variety of industries.
