Rachel Clark, founder of Forthfield. Training delivered personally.
Practical AI training that starts with the work
Forthfield training begins with the work your people actually do — the emails, reports, proposals, research and admin that fill a week — rather than with a tour of the technology.
Sessions help a team spot where AI is genuinely useful, use the tools more effectively, tidy up everyday workflows, and understand where checking and human judgement remain essential. Humans lead. AI accelerates.
See how Forthfield training works in detailWhat could your team do better with AI?
Training is shaped around outcomes rather than features. These are the areas businesses most often want help with.
Save time
Reduce repetitive administration and speed up the everyday tasks that quietly eat a week.
Write & communicate
Use AI to support emails, documents, proposals and other business communication — in your own voice.
Research & summarise
Find, organise and understand information more efficiently, and learn how to verify what comes back.
Work with information
Use AI to help analyse, structure and explain business information you already hold.
Improve workflows
Identify repeatable processes where AI can remove unnecessary manual work.
Use AI responsibly
Understand accuracy, confidentiality, privacy, intellectual property and when human review is essential.
ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot and practical AI skills
Training covers the tools your organisation already uses. For most Leeds businesses that means Microsoft Copilot, ChatGPT, or both — chosen by what your people need to get done rather than by what is new. Where you use something else, sessions cover that instead.
Meet Rachel Clark, Founder of Forthfield
Rachel Clark is the founder of Forthfield and delivers the training personally rather than through associates. Her background is commercial, not technical: 26 years in senior marketing leadership, advising more than 100 businesses across B2B, consumer and PE-backed organisations, with experience including household-name brands such as Red Bull and Savills.
She is Microsoft Certified: AI Business Professional, so the training is grounded in how Microsoft's own AI tools, including Copilot, are intended to be used at work. That combination — business understanding plus practical AI application — is what shapes the sessions: the aim is better work, not tool tourism.
Rachel works with organisations in Leeds and across Yorkshire, as well as remotely with clients elsewhere in the UK.
