Training course percentage increase to bookings

Local Professional Procurement Training Provider S. L. Procurement Solutions Limited have been celebrating this week, with an increase of interest and bookings of their Procurement based training courses.

Working closely with the region’s businesses, the training company have seen a 6% increase in local businesses getting in touch to organise Procurement training for their staff. With the option of individual or large cohort bookings, the company have seen Head of Procurement and Directors getting in touch directly to book the sessions.

The current climate in the UK has spurred the drive in new bookings, with companies needing new strategies for Sustainability, and a significant need of the reviewing and establishing of new Procurement cycles. Professionals are also wanting to broaden their negotiation skills and also a thirst for individuals wanting to improve their contract development skills too.

Head Tutor and Director of S. L.

‘I think we can all agree that these are unprecedented times and we have been helping in public and private sector areas, with individuals wanting to broaden their skills set, or company wide training being delivered in-house.’ Stephen continued; ‘We have had a near 7% increase in course booking already and it’s just our first full week back to it, in 2024’.

‘Moreover, we are thrilled to be helping the regions businesses, but also overwhelmed at the response of mindful businesses wanting to do their best of course for their planned growth but also by means of protecting and developing their employees personal professional development, it’s hopefully a really good sign for the rest of 2024’, added Stephen.
