vg training & consultancy
London
VG Training was created and is led by Director, Vicki Gwynne, who lives locally
with her partner (Nick) daughter (Jess) and their slightly unsociable rabbit
(Speedy). She has worked across Stoke on Trent in a variety of roles over the
years, has a vocational background in education, psychology, support for adults
and young people with multiple needs, and is a qualified teacher and trainer.
Vicki is passionate about Stoke on Trent and Staffordshire – the area, the
people, and the skills and experience within it. VG Training was created after
she realised how many local companies paid for out of area ‘experts’ and
‘specialists’ to train their staff and provide advice… paying high travel and
accommodation costs, big city prices, and having to explain local history and
requirements as the ‘experts’ didn’t understand the local dynamics. Vicki knew
colleagues and other local trainers who had similar qualifications and
experience and the ability to deliver good quality learning or advice, so built
up a fantastic, local team of specialist trainers and consultants to deliver a
variety of training courses, learning experiences and consultations at
affordable prices! Vicki is proud of the quality of training delivered through
the company, “All trainers have dual specialism – experts in the subject matter
(either through qualifications or experience) and have a training or teaching
qualification which helps to plan learning objectives, create appropriate
resources and keep learning active. Because we are local, understand the
different sectors, and can relate to the attendees, our training and consultancy
services remain current, of interest and with practical examples provided.” When
she’s not working, researching new theories or checking legislation and good
practice is current for VG Training, Vicki is either ‘playing taxi’ to her
daughter and friends, reading an excessive amount of books (she’s on her 3rd
full kindle!) or carrying out one of her many voluntary roles. She further shows
her commitment to the local area and residents by being a Trustee of a local
young person’s charity, Member of Staffordshire & Stoke on Trent Adult
Safeguarding Partnership (Prevention & Engagement), Panel Member of Stoke North
Safer Neighbourhood Panel (PCC), and active as representative of her local
residents’ association. Vicki leads a busy life! “I love the work I do as well
as the voluntary roles I perform… it feels like I’m part of something bigger,
and it’s great meeting new people and hearing their life stories. At VG
Training, we put 100% into everything we do, and look forward to continuing our
work across the area!”
