Retailers are being encouraged to enter this year's National Training Awards. The awards, which have run for more than two decades, are given to those who have achieved lasting success through effective training and are open to individuals or organisations.
Regional winners will first be selected across six categories including individuals, small and large employers, partnerships and training bodies.
The awards are run by UK Skills on behalf of the Department for Innovation, Universities and Skills. UK Skills chief executive Simon Bartley said: "We're looking for stories from companies whose investment in training has had big results."
