Build capable teams.
Deliver projects confidently.
Grow a stronger business.
Base Camp is Coron’s Project Management Training and Coaching programme for SME teams that want clarity, consistency and confidence without burning out their people.
Where project confidence begins.
A short, no-obligation video call to help you find your direction.
Built from real project life.
For nearly 30 years, we’ve worked across engineering, construction, energy and infrastructure — client-side, contractor-side and supplier-side.
We know what it feels like when complex projects run on pressure, not structure. When good people carry too much and communication suffers. When leadership means firefighting, not leading.
Base Camp was built for teams like yours — real people, real projects, real results.
Guided by experience. Driven by belief
I’ve spent three decades in engineering and construction — delivering and rescuing projects under pressure.
I built Coron Projects to help others find the structure and confidence which I had to learn the hard way.
Through Base Camp, I now train and coach SME project teams to communicate clearly, lead confidently and deliver with commercial control.
That’s what project confidence looks like in practice.
— Gerwyn Tumelty
When your teams lead with confidence, everything changes.
After Base Camp, your people won’t just manage projects — they lead them. You’ll see it in:
Clearer communication and decisions.
Consistent project performance.
Stronger trust between teams and clients.
Predictable results and margins.
That’s the impact of Project Management Training and Coaching for SME Teams — it starts at Base Camp.
Building Project Confidence from the inside out.
Base Camp builds the confidence and structure that sit at the heart of every successful project business.
We combine:
- Practical tools your teams actually use.
- Coaching that fits the way you work.
- Structure that strengthens performance.
No classroom theory. No corporate slides. Just clarity, capability and progress.
Is Base Camp right for your business?
Base Camp is project management training and coaching for SME teams. It’s designed for project-based businesses that want to build confident teams and consistent delivery.
✅ It’s for you if:
- You have project teams under pressure.
- You want structure, rhythm and accountability.
- You’re ready to invest in your people, not just your process.
🚫 It’s NOT for you if:
- You expect results without participation.
- You’re looking for a one-day training tick-box.
- You’re not ready to engage your leadership team.
A structured journey that fits your business.
A typical Base Camp Programme supports small-to-mid-sized engineering and construction companies employing between 30 and 150 people, with programme cohorts of up to 10 project professionals. Participants are usually project managers, engineers and other key individuals working on live projects.
Running over 4-6 months, following three clear phases:
- Initiate – Leadership engagement and structure design. Clarify roles, goals and rhythms that set the foundation for confident delivery.
- Plan – Tailor the Base Camp content and success measures to your people and priorities. Confirm cohorts, milestones and progression metrics.
- Execute – Deliver two training workshops, fortnightly one-to-one coaching and team sessions that build rhythm, reinforce learning and embed habits.
Each Base Camp includes:
- Two full-day and one half-day training workshops
- Fortnightly 1:1 coaching calls for up to ten participants
- Monthly team coaching sessions to keep momentum
- Progress tracking and regular leadership check-ins
A typical five-month engagement represents an investment of £32,000–£40,000, depending on scope, cohort size and delivery model.
Ongoing quarterly coaching and advisory support can follow as an optional Maintenance phase.
Every journey starts with a compass.
1. Compass Check – Find your direction.
A short, structured conversation to explore where you are on your project journey.
2. Trail Insight – Your route made clear.
A focused process that helps SME leaders see what’s really happening in their projects and business.
3. Base Camp – Build structure, capability and confidence that lasts.
