You see them here, you see them there. South coast-based car, van and commercial vehicle hire company U-Drive’s fleet of vehicles have been spotted across the breadth of the UK from Cornwall to the M25, and have even been sighted in Spain and on Channel 4’s ‘Relocation, Relocation!’ programme.

U-Drive is certainly a company going places and have partnered with The Bournemouth and Poole College as part of their corporate development strategy. U-Drive general manager Richard Sutton said, “We have real ambitions for U-Drive’s expansion and growth and we are proud of the company’s strong visibility and recognisable branding. However, achieving our ambition relies heavily on us helping our staff develop along the way, as they are one of our most important assets to enable us to reach our ambitious goals.

“We are thrilled that our 90 plus strong team has now collectively achieved over 130 qualifications and that includes me! We have worked very closely with The Bournemouth and Poole College over the past 18 months, who have developed our staff with Communication Skills, Customer Service, Management and Business Improvement Techniques. Indeed we continue to use The College for our senior management team because we have built a strong and valuable relationship with their experienced trainers. We are confident that we can continue to receive a confidential and value for money service.”

The College’s Business Enterprise Team works closely with businesses and organisations of all sizes and offers a no-obligation consultation service to find training solutions, including bespoke training packages.

Business Enterprise skills advisor Jacky Grant added, “We applaud the U-Drive team for their level of commitment and a genuine desire to develop skills. We provide a centrally managed service and organise the training which ensures that the customer has a one-stop-shop point of contact. Subsequently, their key account handler really knows what they are trying to achieve and why. This is a training partnership that has really helped U-Drive on its journey!”

The College’s Business Enterprise team offer a complimentary initial skills assessment or consultation. To book an appointment or for more information call 01202 205500 or email be@thecollege.co.uk.
