When the company opened this stunning Retirement Community they needed to hit the ground running with a full complement of appropriately trained and qualified staff. When looking for a suitable staff training and development provider Richard Davis, Richmond Painswick"s Training Manager, discovered that he had exactly what he was looking for right on his doorstep, in the form of Stroud College.
The college was a Centre of Vocational Excellence in Care, had many years of experience in providing professional and personal development for those working in the sector and was located just 3 miles from his office! Right from the first meetings with staff from the College"s Business Development Department, Richard realised that Stroud College was able to offer solutions to almost every one of his staff development needs.
"The college was flexible, responsive and innovative in its approach to working with Richmond Painswick"Â says Richard. "They were able to offer cost-effective solutions to our needs and to deliver a wide range of programmes either here on our own premises or at the college campus which is just a short distance away."Â
As Richmond Painswick has evolved so Stroud College has developed its relationship with the organization not only through staff training and education, but also with professional advice and involvement with the community"s activities. Richard is full of praise for the quality of the service provided by the College and concludes "I would be happy to recommend Stroud College for their business-like approach and any organization accessing their services will not be disappointed."Â
Richard Davis, Richmond Painswick
