Sundial Group's Warwickshire venue, Woodside, has won the Training Excellence Award at the Coventry Evening Telegraph Business Awards.

Woodside's general manager, Julie Hammond, was extremely excited and proud to receive the Training Excellence Award and commented; "The thoughtful planning, attention to detail and dedication of Sundial's human resources director Lucy McGibbon and training and development manager Linda Roberts, have provided management and staff training opportunities across the Group that contribute to Sundial's continued success."
