Senior members of Kemtile’s management team are better equipped to lead and contribute to its business growth plans having secured a highly regarded management qualification.

All recently completed a Level 7 NVQ Diploma in Construction Senior Management, a work-based course covering procurement, budgeting, team leadership and project oversight.

The six-month qualification was a flexible, remote NVQ for experienced construction professionals, designed to focus on workplace performance and increased competency to better deliver results for customers and the company.

Business Development Manager Akeel Ahmed commented: “It’s given me more confidence in my leadership role, stronger commercial awareness and a greater understanding how to use all the resources at our disposal to achieve our business development goals.”

Jamie Cook, Director, said that the investment in individuals was a long-proven strategy at Kemtile, not only serving the business needs, but identifying and building skill sets for loyal employees.

He said: “Everyone wants to progress, be capable of doing more, developing themselves and helping to build a business. That drives job satisfaction. It makes so much sense to put experienced people through these qualifications.”

Chris Cloherty, Commercial Operations Director and Wayne Briers, Operations Manager also completed the training.

Chris commented: “It’s a joined-up investment across sales and commercial operations which makes us stronger, better able to cope with pressures and builds resilience. Completing it as a team had great benefits as well – we encouraged each other to get the most out of it.”

Achieving the Level 7 NVQ Diploma in Construction Senior Management for Akeel, Chris and Wayne will also enable them to secure the coveted CSCS (Construction Skills Certification Scheme) Black Manager Card providing tangible proof of competence to clients.
