Double success for Beverley-based dental practice honoured at
National Training Awards 2010
Beverley-based dental practice, Perfect 32, has been honoured with two prestigious National Training Awards in recognition of its outstanding contribution and commitment to training, learning and development in the workplace.
Perfect 32 was presented with a Regional National Training Award and a UK National Training Award at the Yorkshire and The Humber Regional Ceremony, held at Leeds Town Hall on Tuesday, September 28. Perfect 32 was recognised in the Yorkshire and Humber Training Award-Small Employer category and the UK National Training Award-Small Employer category for furthering our professional development across many areas of expertise, including management, customer service and clinical excellence.
Run on behalf of the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS) by UK Skills, the National Training Awards inspires and encourages UK industry to invest in training and development as a route to achieving outstanding organisational and individual success. Winning an award is recognition of best practice and provides a benchmark for standards of excellence in training in the UK. City & Guilds is the premier sponsor of the 2010 National Training Awards.
Perfect 32 will now be invited to the National Training Awards 2010 UK Ceremony, being held in London on Wednesday 1st December. At the ceremony, UK winners will find out whether or not they have won the overall Winner of the Year Award for their category. They will be up against all the other UK winners from across Britain in competition for these top awards.
Perfect 32’s Practice Manager, Nicki Rowland, said: “We are absolutely delighted to win not one, but two National Training Awards and I am immensely proud of my team, who have worked so hard for this.
“Each team member is currently studying or has recently completed a course and this willingness to learn reflects their enthusiasm to develop and provide the best possible service to our patients. We invest considerable time and resources into training and furthering our professional development and to be honoured in this way makes all the studying worthwhile.
Simon Bartley, Chief Executive of UK Skills which manages the National Training Awards said: “I would like to offer congratulations to all regional and UK winners for the National Training Awards 2010. Achieving an award is a fantastic achievement and one that all winners should be really proud of.
“Now more than ever it is essential for organisations to continue to invest in the development of their staff. The UK’s future, after all, can only be strengthened and sustained by people who have the skills needed to meet the demands of today’s globalised economy.”
