Taylor Clarke Wins Scottish National Training Award
Glasgow businesses commended for investment in training
Businesses from Glasgow have been recognised for their commitment to training at the 23rd Scottish National Training Awards, which took place on Thursday November 5.
Chardon Management Ltd was awarded a Scottish Training Award in the Providing Education category and the Taylor Clarke Partnership Ltd, was also awarded a Scottish Training Award in the Partnership and Collaboration category at the prestigious ceremony held in Edinburgh Castle.
Companies from a wide variety of sectors throughout Scotland entered the National Training Awards which are managed by UK Skills and delivered in Scotland by Skills Development Scotland, on behalf of the Scottish Government.
Five companies were honoured at the ceremony, which celebrated those individuals and organisations that have demonstrated outstanding personal and business success through investment in training.
Chardon Management’s bespoke training programme has helped hotel managers understand the financial impact of their actions on the business. The Numbers Game is delivered by Chardon Management’s directors giving real insight into how the company operates. The course has helped reap financial rewards for the hotel management company that currently manages 16 hotels across the UK.
Taylor Clarke’s partnership with The Robert Gordon University has created a bespoke leadership training programme which is helping Social Services managers across Scotland focus on leadership, change, service delivery and partnership working. The course, entitled Leading to Deliver, tackles leadership and management capabilities enabling trainees to become competent and confident leaders.
Karen Raw from Chardon Management said: “We are delighted to have picked up a Scottish Training Award. It is a great honour to be nominated as a finalist at such a prestigious event. However to receive an award is a huge achievement and testimony to the great work which the team have invested in creating such a robust training programme.
“We are committed to ensuring that employees are given the best opportunities to reach their potential, allowing businesses to grow and develop in the long run.”
Laurence Clarke managing director at the Taylor Clarke Partnership Ltd said: “Our partnership with Robert Gordon University has helped us to create a really unique training programme and the support which they have provided us has helped to provide us with a different vision.
“The standard of finals at this year’s National Training Awards has been extremely high and it is a huge testimony to the commitment that businesses are showing towards the importance of training. It is therefore a great honour to receive a Scottish Training Award and I hope that this will encourage others to focus on the importance of training their employees to help raise moral and improve performance.”
Damien Yeates, chief executive of Skills Development Scotland, said: “My congratulations go out to all our winners and finalists who made this year’s National Training Awards a night to remember. They have provided us with a great range of examples of innovative and dynamic training models, which have worked well to allow their businesses to grow and expand.
“The continuing success of the National Training Awards is testament to the calibre of training that more and more Scottish businesses are carrying out. Organisations, big and small, recognise the importance of having a skilled and knowledgeable workforce.
“When times are tough and budgets tight, training is often one of the first areas to suffer in business. However as the finalists this year have highlighted, it is vital that businesses throughout Scotland continue invest in their staff through training and development, ensuring that they remain as productive as possible and continue to have a positive impact on the Scottish economy.”
