It is a great honour to be recognised for two separate awards and it is a clear endorsement of Haddon Training’s approach, innovative delivery method and total commitment to filling the skills gap across all the sectors that we work in.
“To be shortlisted in two national awards makes me so proud of the whole team at Haddon Training.
