PPL Training

Today, many of our team are saying a fond farewell to one of our longest serving training managers, Graham Taylor. Rather fittingly, today also marks the launch of our first interview series: PPL Training INSIGHTS, with the first instalment focusing on Graham himself. This series is designed to give our clients and followers a bit of a sneak peek into the classroom, as we chat to some of the people who have made PPL Training one of the UK’s leading Safe Systems of Work and Technical compliance training course providers. Hosted by David Lewis ACIM, our Marketing Manager, we're going to be bringing you interviews throughout 2025. As mentioned, Graham is unfortunately, or fortunately for him, taking a semi-retirement, so it seemed only fitting that we chat to him and capture his take on his many years at PPL Training, and multiple decades of experience in industry. Graham has some stories to tell, some knowledge to share, and shares his thoughts on how PPL Training can continue its journey of growth. A follow up to this interview, a discussion with Gavin Spence will be available after Christmas. However, for now, please enjoy this snippet from our quick chat with Graham Taylor, and join us in thanking Graham for all of his hard work, dedication, and commitment to delivering only the highest quality training at PPL, for more than a decade. 🎙️ Full Audio and Video: https://lnkd.in/eX6h2_yB ❓ Ask A Question: forum.pplpeople.com ✉️ Email Us: info@ppltraining.co.uk 🌐 Visit Our Website: ppltraining.co.uk

Did you know that we recently partnered with IWFM | Institute of Workplace and Facilities Management Scotland Region? We were happy to provide a CPD opportunity for Facilities Managers from various backgrounds, just a stones throw away from our own busy Livingston training centre. Through event registrations and contributions from the institute, around £1,000 was raised, to aid Mind and Maggie's Centres in the great work that they do for mental health and expert cancer care respectively. We would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who attended our Facilities Management Technical Awareness CPD session last month, and look forward to future opportunities to support IWFM and other organisations in Scotland throughout 2025. #ppltraining #iwfm #facilitiesmanagers #fm #technicalawareness #cpd #seminar

Alongside third party recognition provided by the City & Guilds Assured scheme, the UK-based training provider has announced its status as an ‘Approved Centre’ for The Institute of Fire Safety Managers - IFSM.
