Alliance Learning one of the region's most successful training providers has appointed Julie Robinson as their new Chief Executive to guide the organisation to outstanding Ofsted status at their next Ofsted Inspection.

Wigan born Julie, who following her education at Shevington High School, started her working career at Gullick Dobson as an Office Junior, joined Alliance Learning in 1994 as a Sales and Marketing Officer and soon graduated through the Management structure at Alliance Learning culminating in being appointed as the Deputy Chief Executive in 2006.

Julie comments "I am delighted to be appointed as the new Chief Executive at Alliance Learning. Throughout my 20 years at Alliance Learning I have gained extensive knowledge of the organisation and its business during this time. The staff at Alliance Learning are truly outstanding in terms of commitment to their learners and to our organisation and this has recently reflected in our Outstanding success rates of over 90% and being graded as a good provider in all areas of curriculum by the education regulator Ofsted in July 2013. Alliance Learning have already devised the blueprint which will ensure outstanding inspection results at the next inspection."

Julie is also keen for Alliance to remain as one of the North Westâs largest independent training providers, in addition to gaining closer working relationships with local Schools to promote the option of Apprenticeships. She continues by stating "Apprenticeships are a fundamental tool in developing a sustainable and highly skilled workforce, in addition to promoting social mobility, whilst avoiding the debt of undertaking a full time degree courses which have no guarantee of employability on their completion."

Julie, who is also responsible for the development of Alliance Learning's training courses during her time at Alliance Learning, continues, "We now offer a diverse range of training courses to various industry sectors and individuals; offering over 75 courses in Health & Safety, First Aid, Management, Plant, and Engineering skills at our Horwich Training Centre or on site to meet organisational needs.

There's no doubt from her colleagues, or anyone else who knows Julie in a work or social capacity that she will make an excellent CEO of Alliance Learning.
