Pub companies recognised in training awards

23rd February 2010, 7:54am

The licensed retail industry’s professional body BII has announced the winners of its 2009 training awards, the BII NITAs, at its awarding body conference in Coventry.

Entrants are judged on their own merits irrespective of the size of the organisation or the number of people being trained. They do not have to be BII members or BIIAB approved centres or offering BIIAB qualifications.

BII director of marketing Sue Medhurst said: "This year's winners are all excellent programmes that would stand benchmarking outside of the industry and demonstrate good practice for the licensed retail sector as a whole. Congratulations to all of them."
