Ascot Racecourse has been awarded for its ‘outstanding’ training and development program at this year’s Princess Royal Training Award.
Following the Covid pandemic, the famed racecourse developed ‘The Ascot Way’ for its 3,599 employees to prepare for the 2021 Royal Ascot.
This year’s Princess Royal’s Training Awards hosted 53 award-winning recipients from small not-for-profit organisations and large multinationals.
Their aim is to support businesses that show a significant impact on their organisation and people.
Lesley Wheeler, Learning and Talent Partner at Ascot Racecourse, said “We submitted our application for a Princess Royal Training Award back in 2022. The assessment process of our Royal Ascot training program and its results was rigorous, so we feel extremely proud to receive news that we have received a Princess Royal Training Award.”
Kirstie Donnelly MBE, Chief Executive of City & Guilds said: “It’s encouraging to see such a diverse range of employers continuing to apply for a Princess Royal Training Award. Despite the obvious challenges in recent years, they have shown unwavering dedication to nurturing their workforce through outstanding training and skills development, resulting in a lasting positive impact.”
