Ambassadors - Wales
Crossed fingers. And more!
Well, the last of the information sessions is completed and it's very much down to the support of the Ambassador team to turn potential entrant's good intentions into action.
Thank you for the helpful and positive responses to the questionnaire we emailed to you. The NTA team are finding the feedback helpful, and we look forward to supporting your own 'spread the word' activities. If there is someone in your network that you think might benefit from a (brief) discussion about a potential entry, I would be happy to talk to them to support your own efforts to get them entering this year.
This final few weeks is when we find out if our efforts are starting to pay off. The Chair of the Welsh Judging Panel is hoping that this year there are more UK Winners in Wales. While we have some excellent stories of Welsh successes, it would be even better to have more exemplars that show the whole of the UK what we can achieve.
The team will keep you updated on progress and we look forward to your continuing support.
Schaeffler UK Ltd and Brilliant
Minds Training & Development
Using NLP to Achieve Organisational
Improvement
Back in 2000, faced with competition from low labour cost countries, the future for Llannelli based Schaeffler (UK) Limited looked bleak. Knowing that a dramatic change was needed, the management team launched a culture change initiative to up-skill the entire workforce. This involved an innovative training programme based on Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) - the results have surpassed all expectations.
Schaeffler (UK) Limited is a privately owned company manufacturing high precision engine components predominantly for the automotive industry, supplying customers including Ford, Toyota and Fiat. The Llanelli plant employs 220 people.
