Tyre Industry Awards a ‘resounding endorsement’ of ETEL training programmes

Following three 2017 Tyre Industry Awards, European Tyre Enterprises Limited (ETEL) said its success in three separate personnel focused awards categories proved the quality of its staff development initiatives. The company prevailed in the Staff Training and Development Initiative Award with Kwik-Fit, while members of staff won National Apprentice Tyre Technician of the Year (Kimberley Locker, STS Tyre Pros) and REACT Roadside Technician of the Year award (Adam Grimley, Central Tyre (Commercial), who shared the award with Tomasz Woiciechowski of Tyre Maintenance).

Paul Binks, divisional director for people development at ETEL, said: “These awards are a resounding endorsement of the time and effort we continually put into our training and development programmes.  We are delighted for Kimberley and Adam for their personal achievements, but also for everyone involved in making our training programme so effective.  We deliver over 18,000 training days a year through our industry leading training academies, covering everything from the apprenticeships programme to management and leadership training.”
