Harrow Green Ltd has recently introduced nationally recognised qualifications from the Institute of Leadership and Management (ILM) for its operational teams. The company says the initiative is already delivering strong results with benefits for both the staff and the company.

Working with Skills Team, an external training provider, Harrow Green has introduced a programme (over 12–18 months), consisting of training, skills development and applied workplace learning, leading to a Level 2 NVQ Certificate in Team-Leading, a VRQ Certificate in Team Leading and Functional Skills in Maths and English at the appropriate level. Since the courses began, 31 staff members have qualified.

David Thompson, Harrow Green’s Training and Quality Control Manager, said: “For a long time now I have wanted to find some appropriate accreditation for senior operative staff within the commercial relocation side of the industry. We’re delighted with the success of the programme so far.”
