For the past 22 years these annual Awards have celebrated organisations and individuals that demonstrate outstanding business and personal success through investment in training.

They are run by UK Skills on behalf of the Department for Innovation, Universities and Skills, and are sponsored by City and Guilds.

UK Skills Chief Executive Simon Bartley said: "We are looking for stories from companies whose investment in training has had big results.

This could be through improving a business's productivity, reducing costs or boosting staff morale".

He said changes had been made to this year's Awards to meet the needs of a 21st century economy and society.

"We've introduced six new categories of awards which will recognise individuals, small to large employers, collaborations and partnerships, and organisations providing education and training.

We've also streamlined the entry process and are accepting applications online.

"And while we'll continue to give out regional training awards, we will also give awards to the best example of training per category in each region.

These regional winners will then be considered by a UK judging panel for the accolade of 'Winner of the Year' in their category".
