Business development expert joins NLT board

Mel Archbould, owner and Managing Director of Cloud-busting, a business scale-up consultancy based in Chesterfield, has joined NLT Training Services’ Board of Directors. 

Mel joins the five-strong board and will play an active role in advising on and shaping the training provider’s strategy for its future growth and charitable activities across the East Midlands and Humberside.

She brings more than 17 years’ experience as managing director of her family business, Palamatic, and now her own consultancy, Cloud-busting, to NLT which was established in 1968.

Mel Explained: “I have been on a journey myself and learned a great many lessons which are transferable to other organisations, including NLT. I am excited to now be part of NLT’s journey. There are a wealth of opportunities waiting for NLT to bring to so many adults in careers that require certification and validation of competence to carry out their role. I am looking forward to working with the board to help structure and focus on how that continues as NLT approaches its sixtieth year.”  

Mel is no stranger to NLT having used the organisation as a mechanical engineering training provider at Palamatic. In addition to its range of industry-accredited Health and Safety courses, including CCNSG, CSCS and MPQC/SPA, most recently NLT has seen an increased demand for CMI-accredited leadership and management training, both nationally and in the local area. 

Welcoming Mel to the board, Sarah Temperton, Chief Executive of NLT Training Services said: “NLT has taken a significant and exciting change in direction in recent years. I am delighted that Mel has joined our Board of Directors. Her experience and profile reflect NLT’s future ambitions and focus for growth as well as helping us continue to meet our charitable objectives.”
