A Sussex based care agency is celebrating after being shortlisted in this year?s Business Matters Awards 2013.
Avens Ltd, who has a care home in Crowborough and a care agency providing supported living for adults across the county, has been shortlisted for the prestigious Education and Training award.
The Business Excellence Awards which takes place this year on September 13th at the Copthorne Hotel, in Effingham celebrates the best businesses from across East and West Sussex. To be shortlisted for the Education and Training award entrants had to demonstrate how staff are trained, what methods are employed to do so and how objectives are met.
The shortlisted entry impressed judges by explaining how the company provides in house training and employment for over 80 members of staff. Taking a huge financial risk, the company chose to set up its own in-house training system which has proven to be a great success. Staff receive training regularly from one of three dedicated trainers who help staff to reach the required level of attainment.
Clair Andrews, head of Education and Training within the company said: ?We are thrilled to have made the shortlist for The Business Matters Awards and to be chosen from among so many other successful businesses is a real honour. As far as we are aware we were one of the first care organisations of this size to bring training in-house to the level that we are able to offer it and we consider this to be a huge advantage over our competitors. ?Although this is recognition for the department?s efforts, we couldn?t achieve what we do without the great team of people we have around us.?
The company?s head office is based within the residential care home in Crowborough, East Sussex from where the company?s care agency which has branches across the county, is also managed. Avens currently provides care and support for 98 individuals across Sussex and in their second branch based in Northamptonshire. ENDS
