Our mission is to design, deliver and manage high-quality learning and development solutions that help organisations develop their people, improve workplace performance and achieve lasting success.
Get to know us better
Delphinium is a learning and development partner — not a single trainer, one fixed method, or a set course catalogue. We work with you to understand what your organisation actually needs, then draw on our own team and a trusted network of specialists to deliver it, so you get one relationship and one consistent standard of quality throughout.
Gemma Rolstone, Managing Director
Gemma's career began in law — but a company restructuring in 2007 changed its direction entirely, moving her into management for the first time. What started as a necessary pivot became a genuine calling: leading teams, developing people, and discovering that the part of the job she loved most wasn't the strategy or the numbers, it was watching people and teams grow.
That experience — leading through change, developing others, and building high-performing teams from the ground up — is the foundation Delphinium is built on. Every programme, coaching relationship and training session we deliver comes from having done the work ourselves, not just studied it.
Outside work, you'll usually find Gemma travelling, at the theatre, or out hiking and paddleboarding.
Delphinium’s Mission and Values
Embrace Diversity
Everyone is different, with their own experiences and strengths. We work closely with our clients to help executives and their employees recognise and appreciate how individuals’ differences create cohesive, high-performing teams.
Open & Honest
Being open and honest lays the foundation for a lasting relationship. We believe the clearer you communicate and the more open you are to giving and receiving constructive feedback, the more likely you are to develop strong solutions to the challenges you face.
Passion
Delphinium was founded from an intense passion for helping individuals and organisations fulfil their maximum potential. Passion is what drives us, and we aim to inspire that same passion in our clients.
Simplicity
We believe in keeping things simple. We don’t overcomplicate or overthink. The best ways forward are often the most straightforward. At Delphinium, we take a direct, knowledge-driven approach to achieving results.
Continuous Improvement
We seek to learn and develop at every opportunity, constantly embracing and driving change. We want to be the best, continually seeking feedback to improve our services and deliver top quality to our clients.

ILM Approved Centre
We are accredited to deliver ILM qualifications in Leadership and Management.
Transparency
