NVQ BUSINESS IMPROVEMENT TECHNIQUES LEVEL 2

MORE than two thirds of the employees at Building Profiles have recently been awarded certificates for successfully completing their NVQ Level Two in Business Improvement Techniques. 

The training, developed with and delivered by Resource Development International covered a range of business areas including, continuous Improvement, team working, problem solving and workplace organisation. 

The training endorses the fundamental skills required to continue our business success and to excel in our support for our customers. The structure and the pace of the training encouraged interaction, collaboration and a positive learning environment. 

Resource Development International trainer Jim Amphlet said: “We are pleased with the level of commitment and engagement from Building Profiles and its employees. Everyone who undertook training found it interesting and useful and we are delighted that Building Profiles has invested in their employees and has clearly demonstrated its commitment to training.” 

Building Profiles General Manager, Richard Fraser said: “At Building Profiles we are continually looking at new ways of enhancing the learning experience and professional development of our employees as part of our integrated business development programme”. 

“Due to our partnership with Resource Development International and the NVQ initiative being so successful, we are investigating other forms of training. With many companies having to produce ‘more for less’ we must continue to invest in our existing work force enhancing existing skills and developing new ones.” 
 
“We have seen significant improvements in the key skills of our employees, the training has enhanced our employees communication skills, encouraged them to be more flexible, to care for others, to take responsibility and, perhaps above all else, to work in teams”

ANGELA ACHIEVES CYCLING AMBITION

Our very own Angela Torres has just completed a marathon cycle ride from Lands End to John O’ Groats.  With just two months training and a new touring bike she cycled for 13 days averaging 70 miles every day with the longest day clocking up an exhausting 92 miles.

Angela started her epic journey at Lands End on 4th July and arrived at John O’ Groats on 16th July.  On day two she suffered a damaged ligament to her left knee and had to take anti-inflammatories and pain killers for the duration of the trip.  She also suffered a nasty fall on day three, her 47th birthday which left her with a massive bruise on her hip and thigh.

Angela said “For several years it had been my ambition to cycle from Lands End to John O’ Groats but for one reason or another I had not got around to achieving this ambition.  This year though I decided it was going to be my year!  I already knew from other cyclists’ accounts of the journey that Cornwall was going to be very challenging because of the vast amount of hills to climb.  We had to put up with the rain, the wind and the cold – a typical British summer; it was very hard going indeed.”

Angela’s brother, Mike demonstrated true brotherly love by accompanying her.  But both said that they had seen the most beautiful sights including the Cornish Coast, the Mendip Hills and Ironbridge, but they voted Waddington the prettiest village of the whole trip.

Angela continued “We met some very kind people along the way, we shared a camping field with a horse called Cheeky and enjoyed spectacular views along Scotland’s East Coast road.  We even had a massive hail storm which settled on the ground and looked like snow.  It was a great relief to arrive finally at John O’ Groats.  I was absolutely ecstatic to have finished and so glad I didn’t have to get back on the bike the next day!”
