“Entering our 5th year of the Awards, we’re delighted to be working once again with Lycetts Insurance Brokers.
The Awards offer us the opportunity to celebrate and learn from the training yards that are establishing the most exceptional working environments. Yards and employers that champion team performance and ethos, build resilient and sustainable business practices, prioritise safety and wellbeing, and go above and beyond to create a workplace where staff and horses can flourish. At a time when staffing is a significant challenge for the sport, the accreditations offered through the awards process represent a real opportunity for yards to stand out as top employers.
In addition, the awards are a welcoming and informative platform for Trainers to receive guidance in management and leadership practices. Consultancy, advice and support materials are available to help all Trainers elevate their employment processes and build resilient businesses.”
Paul Johnson, Chief Executive, National Trainers Federation
“It is a huge privilege to have been involved in the creation of this program and see its purposes translate into real benefits for the trainer’s businesses and their employees alike. Although the awards seek to find winners, in fact every team that participates wins because the ideals and principals stick and produce real and measurable results.
Persevering with the goal to have every training operation participate will benefit the industry as a whole and make jobs in racing an ever more attractive destination.”
Piers Plunket, Divisional Director, Lycetts
