30 team leaders from LB Plastics Ltd have shown just how valuable their years of vocational experience are after successfully passing the renowned Institute of Learning and Management’s qualification, the Introductory Certificate in First Line Management (Level 3).

The team leaders, who were encouraged by LB Plastics to achieve formal recognition for their extensive people skills and supervisory know-how, have a collective 317 years experience behind them, built up in their work throughout the company’s main manufacturing facility.

In putting its staff through this training, LB Plastics has been one of the first manufacturing companies of its kind in the UK to develop its staff in this way. The company took part in a pilot scheme organised by the Learning & Skills Council which proved so successful that the programme has now been rolled out nationally.

One of the main factors the company puts its success down to is its continuous commitment to investment in staff training and development.

LB Plastics Personnel Manager, Nicola Bird said: ‘We are absolutely thrilled with the 100% success of our team leaders. With this formal professinonal qualification they have the perfect platform from which to develop personally and at work.’
