Established training business, Eastwood Park, adopts
new look | Jun 08

Reflecting the continued growth across the three main sectors of the organisation: training, conferences and weddings, each business will have a new look in its own right that will be more appropriate to the market within which it operates and indicative of the separate business centre structures.

Eastwood Park Training retains an outstanding reputation both in the UK and worldwide for the high standard of its training, particularly in the demanding healthcare sector, where requirements are rigid and legislation and guidelines constantly evolving. After a management buyout in 2003 led by John Thatcher, Eastwood Park’s CEO and Director of Training, the potential to make the most of the 200-acre estate was recognised. This developed into establishing Eastwood Park as a regular conferencing venue, as well as corporate events and various social functions.

Commenting John Thatcher said: “It is important for us to retain our competitive edge in differing markets and for our customers to see how we are evolving. We are delighted to have developed a strong new identity that is bright, fresh and contemporary and more in line with the direction the business is taking.”

“The new look is more than just a surface change, it reflects the moves we have been taking to strengthen each sector of our business including our training team. We have been bringing in more experienced specialists who can closely relate to the markets within which we are operating. This will continue over the coming months.”

Eastwood Park boasts some of the most comprehensive training facilities on any one site in the UK with much more than just the usual lecture rooms and break out facilities. For technical training it has a network of laboratories and workshops fully equipped to be able to deliver hands on practical training, whether for decontamination and medical gas equipment training, as well as lift maintenance, water safety and much more.

Visit Eastwood Park’s new website (to be launched 2 June) to see the breadth of the business but also the increased focus on Training and the 35 new training courses that have been running this year. Concluded John Thatcher “The course calendar will be revised and updated again shortly, to ensure continual delivery of the latest information, technologies and skills in our training courses.
