10,000th GIRI training certificate issued

GIRI Training & Consultancy celebrated a major milestone last month with the issue of its 10,000th training certificate.

The certificate was issued to quality inspector Richard Ellis from BAM UK & Ireland, who completed part one of GIRI's Supervisory & Management Skills course (SM-01). The course, which focuses on supervision and planning skills to prevent errors during construction, was delivered by Colin Humphrey and Paul Dixon.

The first ever training certificate was also issued to an employee of BAM UK & Ireland. Senior project manager Adam Bunce completed part one of the Training Across Interfaces (IN-01) course in November 2019 to receive the first certificate. Richard and Adam both work on the TransPennine Route Upgrade West project.

BAM UK & Ireland has since become a GIRI Approved Training Provider, enabling the business to roll out the training more widely in-house.

Richard said: "I apply GIRI principles gained via the SM-01 course to embed quality from the start, empower individuals to speak up, challenge the norm, and ask questions that can help to prevent errors. This approach, along with future training, will help drive improvements in safety, quality and productivity on the TransPennine Route Upgrade."
