West Berkshire Training Consortium awards local business with Certificate of Excellence

West Berkshire Training Consortium recently presented Covéa Insurance with their prestigious award, the Certificate of Excellence. This certificate recognises employers who are committed to staff training and development and is the highest accolade that an employer can receive in the Investment in Training Awards.

Matt Garvey Managing Director at West Berkshire Training Consortium commented:

“Well done to Covéa Insurance, one of the select few companies to have achieved our highest accolade. It is not easy to become a recipient of the Certificate of Excellence, but this is well deserved”.

West Berkshire Training consortium was specifically impressed with the business’s apprenticeship scheme. The scheme focuses on supporting the development of young people within the communities they operate in, providing these young individuals a chance to develop their knowledge of the insurance industry whilst gaining valuable on the job training.

Lisa Meigh, Head of HR & Learning at Covéa Insurance added:

“Attracting the next generation of talent is key to the progression of Covéa Insurance. We genuinely believe that all our people are an integral part of our culture and it’s fantastic to see them grow and develop to maximise their individual potential.
