The partnership behind automotive training firm PHP has split amicably.

Dean Hines and Rob Purfield have dissolved the partnership, which since its foundation in 2001 has worked with more than
300 companies, including Marshall Motor Group, Whitehouse and Just Car Clinics on sales and management training. 

The business specialised in structured sales appr-oaches, including neuro-linguistic programming.

The duo issued a statement saying: “Due to our professional interests evolving in different directions, we have decided to dissolve the partnership so that we can each focus on individual strengths and personal interests.”

“We will continue to work with the clients we have been closest to in a seamless manner and we will come together and collaborate on some projects where appropriate.”

In 2007 Purfield, a neuro-linguistic programming practitioner, began a separate dotcom venture, Freetrainingfilms.
