Training Award Runner Up

Posted on March 28, 2012 by Up and Under Group

Yesterday we were announced as a runner up in the Sentinel Business Awards at the Kings Hall in Stoke. These awards recognise business success in Staffordshire and S Cheshire.

We were the runner up in the Training Excellence Award, recognising the effort and investment we make in training out team members.  We were obviously disappointed not to win, but we were beaten by a company 10 time our size who had built a £1million training centre for their staff in the past year so I guess if was a reasonable decision.

On the plus side you can be comforted that the staff working on your jobs get a range of essential safety training (eg all our team members get the opportunity to do first aid training every year – not every 3 as prescribed) plus a wide variety of technical education. 

In the past two years all of the Directors have undergone a thorough leadership programme with MMU, 5 of our team members have had one to one high level coaching, many of our technical team have completed NVQs from level 3 up to level 6 in relevant disciplines, our admin team are completing accountancy and personnel management qualifications, all of our directors have completed or are in the process of undertaking NEBOSH General Certificates and we are currently sponsoring two team members on degree programmes.

This is the edited highlights of the training commitment we have made to our 30 strong team, if you want to know more please contact either Simon or Andy via https://www.upandundergroup.com/
