Ten Alps Media scoops two prestigious awards for staff training

15th October 2009

Ten Alps Media company - Mongoose Media - won both the Regional Award and the UK National Training Award at the National Training Awards on the 8th October.

The awards recognise the exceptional achievement in personnel training and development. The judges commented that the Ten Alps Media business was "An inspiring example of the best that training and development can achieve."

The Awards support the Government´s commitment to lifelong learning, crucial to business and individual success and to the benefit of the UK economy as a whole. As a result of their achievement, Ten Alps Media will now go forward to be judged by the UK judging panel which selects one overall Winner of the Year in each of the six categories.

Comment:
Richard Walters, MD of Ten Alps Media was delighted. He commented "We like to hire young graduates with little or no business experience and train them in-house. To survive and prosper in a volatile sector that has been hit hard by the recession, we have developed a highly accelerated training programme. Our candidates say the training works, they feel more comfortable and that they are making a difference."

Katherine Williams, an editor at the Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining, one of Ten Alps Media clients, said "Our contacts at Mongoose are always polite, deliver on time, and are willing to work with us to try out new ideas. They are enthusiastic and quick to learn, I enjoy working with them and am happy with their progress at a difficult time."

Notes to editors:
The National Training Awards are run by UK Skills (www.ukskills.org.uk), an independent organisation that champions skills and learning for work.

The National Training Awards have been run since 1986 and celebrate organisations and individuals that demonstrate outstanding business and personal success through investment in training.

By recognising best practice, the National Training Awards aim to raise awareness and inspire others to invest in learning and development as a route to becoming world class. This was the first year that Ten Alps has entered the awards.
