CASE STUDY
Sassy Horry, Training Coordinator at Anglian Water Services
“Develop is our main supplier of training programmes. We have established a relationship with them over the years that is based on trust and openness. Around 15 % of the training is specific to the water industry and includes the confined spaces training programme. At Anglian we have very stringent requirements for this work. Water Industry Training goes on all the time with everyone being assed every 12 months. Our contractors also have to be assessed by Develop before they can work for us.
From a water industry point of view you would be hard-pressed to find the standard of training programmes and facilities available at Develop, anywhere else in the country”
