Imagine Training Turn 25

Training experts Imagine Training are celebrating 25 years in business in 2019!

As part of their celebrations, Imagine threw a party at their offices in the e-Innovation Centre, inviting friends and business contacts from the past 25 years. As well as food for everyone to enjoy, there was also some magical fun during the event provided by Colin Dorning MBE who performed close-up magic for the guests.

Training Director, Karen Turner said: “We’ve worked hard over the past 25 years to help hundreds of businesses save time and work more effectively using Microsoft Office software like Excel. We’re now launching a range of soft skills training courses including Leadership, Change Management and Customer Service.

We’ve trained thousands of delegates over the years and have kept all the evaluation comments so we could prove – if ever necessary – how great our service is. We have received 98% Total Satisfaction from our customers over the years.

We loved to hear stories from past delegates of how training has helped improve their work and how it has enhanced their careers as well as improving their employer’s bottom line.”

Imagine Training was also supporting The Ben Corfield Football Fund with their event. Ben Corfield is a local 7 year old boy who has been diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia. Donations from the day will be given entirely to this worthy cause, helping young Ben and others like him, and also the hospitals and specialist wards they rely on so much.

Richard from Bronze Labs Invited to Meet the Queen

This month Richard Howells, CEO of Bronze Software Labs, was invited to meet the Queen at a Buckingham Palace garden party in recognition of contribution to British Innovation.

Richard founded ‘The Tribe Project’, a digitally centred initiative to directly tackle national care inequality. Tribe uses geospatial datasets combined with machine learning to identify care ‘dark patches’ across the UK. These localities represent areas where it is no longer economically viable for care companies to operate and where thousands of vulnerable citizens are struggling to maintain a basic quality of life.

The Tribe Project up-skills people within care dark patches to become certified carers whilst simultaneously growing community social action. The technology provides an over-arching digital solution through which Local Government can commission help directly to vulnerable people seeking care. The Tribe Project has also won the ‘UK Social Impact Award’ from the Social Tech Trust.

Pictured is Richard at the garden party with his Mother Hazel Howells, who was the inspiration for starting the project.
