Damar employer Easi-Drive (http://www.easidrive.com/) released the following press release today:
STAFF ON THE ROAD TO WORK-BASED QUALIFICATIONS
Employees at leading accident management specialists Easi-Drive are on the road to success after bosses enrolled them on a business training course to help them realise their full potential.
The company, based in Wythenshawe, which employs 150 people is committed to helping its staff build their qualifications and skills base encouraging them to advance through to higher positions within the organisation.
The training with Damar is offered to employees at no cost to them, as they work towards national vocational qualifications (NVQs) or apprenticeships and work in areas such as administration, accounts, and customer service.
Leah Hambleton from Fallowfield was one of the first employees to benefit from the training.
The 19-year-old, a former pupil at Buckley High School in Wythenshawe, started her career at Easi-Drive as an administration trainee doing basic administration duties and was keen to undertake the Damar training to improve her skills.
She picked three courses, including call handling and filing, and over a 12-month period produced a portfolio of work and achievements before sitting her exams.
She said: “I started at Easi-Drive straight from leaving school and really lacked in confidence. The training has really given me that confidence to do the job and progress in the company, and now I’m a fully-fledged recoveries negotiator.
“I’ve got a really good team around me, who have been really supportive, and the training has been a positive experience.”
Managing Director Simon Bellamy said: “Damar Training is a fantastic way to improve the skills of our workforce. As a business we are committed to the development of the team. We reward hard work and commitment and offer the opportunity for all employees to develop long-term career with Easi-Drive.”
