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

This accolade comes hot on the heels of Sundial scooping the top award for "Best Venue Group Meeting Product" category at the 2005 Meetings & Incentive Travel Awards and two "Forum for Great Ideas" awards at the annual conference of the International Association of Conference Centres (IACC) in the USA.

As part of the family-owned Sundial Group, one of the UK's leading venue operators, Woodside represents Sundial's highly acclaimed culture based upon a distinct customer care philosophy; looking after guests better than anyone else.  It is through the Group's commitment to training that the team and the environment at Woodside embody these values.  The Training Excellence Award highlights this commitment and the investment the Sundial Group offers employees with training and development.

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."

Woodside provides the ideal environment for conferences, meetings, learning events and corporate hospitality.  The purpose built conference and syndicate rooms offering state-of-the-art equipment are complimented by excellent accommodation, extensive leisure facilities and award-winning catering.
