As a continuous process, they ensure that their people have the opportunity to further both their careers, and their expertise within the business. Through additional training and qualifications, they aim to have the most motivated and knowledgeable team possible – and they’re making some great strides.

Ever-Expanding Checkmate team

Here are some recent achievements from within the ever-expanding Checkmate team: Huge congratulations to Scott Birch, Kieran Carlisle, Mark Parol ​and​ Adam Shipstone ​for successfully completing their ILM Level 3 in Leadership and Management qualification.

This qualification represents an ideal next step for aspiring professionals taking their first foray

Signifying an excellent milestone in their careers, this qualification represents an ideal next step for aspiring professionals taking their first foray into line management, or those with some experience of managing a team or project to deliver clearly defined outcomes. Congratulations to ​India Bateman​ who has passed her Level 2 AAT (Accounting Qualification)!

Development of management and operatives

Well done to Damien Ward and Kieran Carlisle ​who have passed their ASFP Level 3 in Passive Fire Protection!
