Glasstap and the BILD enter partnership to run the BILD's official online forum
British Institute for Learning and DevelopmentGlasstap is proud to announce that their networking forum, Trainers’ Talk is now the official networking forum for The BILD - The British Institute for Learning and Development - the UK’s leading individual and organisational membership organisation, representing the interests of learning and development professionals.

Trainers’ Talk was launched by Glasstap in 2005. The introduction of daily Auto Updates in 2010 saw an enormous increase in member usage making the service one of the most popular training forums in the UK and a great tool for networking opportunities.

Glasstap’s Commercial Director, Rod Webb said: “We're delighted that The BILD has chosen to make Trainers' Talk the official forum for members of the British Institute for Learning and Development. By combining forces, we're creating one of the largest networks of professional business trainers in the world and I know that BILD members will appreciate the uniquely supportive and flexible culture that exists within Trainers' Talk. I look forward to them all getting involved.”

The BILD’s aim is to support the development and success of its members by providing a valued range of membership services and through professional recognition by way of membership grades, which is why Glasstap is really pleased to provide them with access to outstanding networking opportunities through Trainers’ Talk, which currently has over 2000 members in 50 countries worldwide. The BILD is well placed in the L&D industry to help organisations inject new ideas and thinking into training departments through their CPD days.Rich Wootten, Spokesman for the British Institute for Learning and Development (The BILD) said: "The BILD are delighted to be working with Glasstap, this relationship will bring about huge benefits for our members as they will have access to one of the fastest growing online forums. What was important to us is that it is purely the preserve of Learning and Development Professionals. Currently we've been using another group as a forum for our members but that hasn't delivered the value that we'd hoped for. Access to this platform demonstrates significant value to the BILD membership as our members get free access to what is normally granted at a premium rate".
 


Glasstap sponsors local school in litter pick (June 2008)
Glasstap Limited is encouraging the children of Alston Primary School to get involved in a litter pick on Thursday 5th June 2008 with a £2,000 donation.

The whole school is taking part with younger children concentrating on the school grounds, whilst older children collect litter from various places around Alston including Fair Hill and Tyne Willows.

The event has been organised by Louise Richardson, Office Manager at Glasstap and Mrs Debbie Clarke, Deputy Head of Alston Primary School.
Louise said: “This is the first outside project that I have been involved in organising through my job at Glasstap, and I am really pleased to be part of something so worthwhile.”

The funds from this event will be used in the learning and development of the children with a portion going directly into the Alston Primary School Garden Fund, a project set up by Mrs Clarke to provide hands on learning experience for the children in the growing of a wide variety of plants and vegetables.
Debbie said: "The school is applying for their bronze eco-school award and will then be working towards their silver award. The litter pick will help teach children the impact that litter has on the environment and ways in which they can help to solve the problem, which will be beneficial to the local community as a whole. It is anticipated that a regular litter picking club will be set up as a result."

Mrs Clarke would like to thank all those who have made donations to the Alston Primary School Garden Fund. Any further donations (tools, seeds etc) would be gratefully received. For more information please contact the school on 01434 381213.

Eden District Council are providing the litter pickers for the children to use during the litter pick.[Top]


TJ Trainer of the Year 2006
Trainers' Library are the proud sponsors of the first ever TJ Trainer of the Year Award, which has been won by Cheryl Guest.

Cheryl Guest works for Leeds City Council, and was nominated for the work she had done during the implementation of SAP. The principles of SAP are to enable and encourage independence, and to ensure that users and carers are confident that they will have access to the right service, at the right place at the right time. Cheryl was nominated for the award by her manager, Tracy Cartmell but Cheryl’is work has also been recognised more widely, the Centre for Policy on Ageing (CPA) has recognised Leeds as a centre of best practice for its development of a multi-agency training strategy. The training was also highly commended by the West Yorkshire Strategic Health Authority.

Rod Webb, Director of Operations at Glasstap Limited, presented the award at a ceremony in London on the 29th June 2006. [Top]


Glasstap Turns on Green Lights (April 2006)
Glasstap Limited, the Alston based training company, is this month switching to a new electricity supplier; Good Energy. The move means that all of the electricity used at their office on Skellgillside will be sourced from the natural energy of wind, sun or running water. And it's not just the lights that are turning green; from the 26th April even their heating will be green, helping to reduce the company’s carbon dioxide emissions by up to 10,000 kg this year alone.

Rod Webb, Director, explained: “Our electricity bill will increase by about 20 per cent, but it is a price we think is worth paying. We chose Good Energy because it’s the only UK supplier that supplies only 100% renewable electricity.

Many other companies offer a 'Green Tariff', but no one else obtains all of the electricity they supply from renewable sources. As part of a group which invests in the renewable industry, Good Energy concentrates on building consumer demand for renewable electricity and supports small scale UK generators, businesses and individuals, by buying renewable energy from them.” [Top]
