Training awards open

Nominations are now open for the Excellence in Business Training Awards.

Now in their fifth year, the awards, hosted by Cornwall College Business (CCB), attract applications from companies large and small and recognise how staff training has made a difference to them.

Winners from last year include China Fleet Country Club, Fit ‘n’ Fun Kids, The Lost Gardens of Heligan, Cornish Cottages and Mill Autoquip.

Any business in the region can enter the 2012 awards, sharing how they have used staff training to improve their profitability, staff morale, retention, performance and to gain competitive advantage.

“The awards are always a fantastic celebration of local business success,” said CCB’s Tamsyn Harris from Cornwall College Business. “They provide well deserved recognition for companies who have invested in training over the last year and enjoyed measurable benefits.”

Shortlisted nominees will be invited to the awards ceremony at the Atlantic Hotel in Newquay on January 26, where the overall winner for each category will be announced.

In total, there are nine categories up for grabs. For further details or to enter, click here. Deadline for entries is November 8.
