GTG Training opens in Edinburgh

GTG Training– a top quality training and conference centre owned by Arnold Clark – announced that an all new, purpose-built training and conference centre was officially opened on Wednesday 4th February by the Lord Provost of Edinburgh and long-distance cyclist Mark Beaumont.

GTG has been established in Edinburgh for over 20 years, and will continue to offer expert tuition and education through four training divisions; transport, automotive, health & safety and business skills. The new centre offers apprenticeship programmes and vocational training, with initiatives to get young people into employment after training is complete.

Carol Henry, Group HR Director of Arnold Clark and Director of GTG Training said: 'The opening of the new GTG Training and Conference Centre aims to bring greater education and learning opportunities to the Edinburgh area.

'It will bring work-relevant educational experiences for young people, and also give employers the chance to offer first class training to staff, improving workforce skills and encouraging professional development.'

At the Edinburgh launch event, guests heard from record-breaking long-distance cyclist Mark Beaumont, who shared his exiting stories from around the globe and how teamwork and passion has helped him to succeed. Event guests also took part in taster sessions and experienced GTG Edinburgh's expert training courses for themselves.

GTG's new training and conference centre is larger than the previous site by 3000sqm, the extra room will allow for an increase in training courses being offered. Liam McGeevor has been appointed as the manager of the new facility, and will bring Edinburgh in line with the other training centres in Glasgow and Wolverhampton.

In addition to GTG's extensive training facilities, the centre has plenty of flexible space ideal for conferences, events and meetings. It can accommodate up to 200 guests and is available for hire by anyone, not just businesses. With an advantageous location close to Edinburgh Airport and the M8, GTG Training & Conference Centre is perfect for commuting and easily accessible to visitors.
