Training firm gives leadership spark

Develop Training has partnered with an electricity distributor to provide bespoke leadership training to its staff.

The accredited providers of compliance, technical and safety training, which has a base in Derby, recently delivered a programme centred around modern management skills to bosses at National Grid Electricity Distribution (NGED).

NGED delivers electricity supply to eight million customers in the Midlands, South West and South Wales.

Following the results of a recent internal survey, NGED saw the need to equip their managers with the necessary skills to be leaders of the future.

However, due to the overwhelming positive response surrounding the training programme, the senior leadership team at NGED were keen to roll the training out to all levels within the organisation.

Kate Denial, cross industry training manager at Develop, said: “Working with NGED has been a real pleasure.

“Initially, we were only partnering with them on a one-day course, but thanks to overwhelmingly positive feedback and results, we have vastly expanded our relationship to include a two-year training programme to boost employee performance across the board.”
