Keoghs nominated for Festival of Learning Award

Keoghs are delighted to have been shortlisted for the Festival of Learning Employer Award. This award celebrates employers who have used learning to develop and utilise the skills of their workforce to improve productivity, raise morale, increase staff retention and enhance business performance.

This recognition is especially notable as it was a nomination by Bolton Council and Bolton College which resulted in Keoghs being shortlisted.
The nomination stated;

“Bolton Council and College are nominating Keoghs as an employer with an outstanding commitment and proven track record in providing staff centred workplace learning. Indeed extending this into the wider community, they pride themselves on investing in learning to support the development of home-grown skills and talent”

This nomination arises from the firm’s continued commitment to invest in its people though Continuous Professional Development and Further Education. This extends into the community through our ever growing apprenticeship programme and Sector Based Work Academy which helps secure training and roles for successful recruits all of whom have been looking for work long term.

Keoghs is dedicated to the development of our people and supports this through a range of benefits ensuring employee welfare is at the forefront of what we do by promoting and supporting positive mental, physical and financial wellbeing.

Jo Wright, Head of People said:

“Being shortlisted for the Festival of Learning Employer Award is not only recognition of the hard work of Keoghs People Team but a reflection of the ambitious and supportive culture that runs through individuals throughout the business.”
