A Lancashire-based training specialist is working with one of the UK’s fastest growing exporters of clothing storage and ironing supplies to upskill its new and existing workforce.
The partnership between PHX Training and Blackpool-based Hangerworld evolved after the training provider achieved a 100 per cent pass rate while delivering a bespoke level two qualification in warehousing for 18 employees in response to the needs of the business.
As a result, PHX will deliver courses in business administration and team leading, alongside warehousing, to train new staff joining Hangerworld’s workforce.
Employees will develop skills in communication, sales, customer service, IT and health and safety.
Hangerworld, which employs more than 60 members of staff, exports quality clothes care items, storage and ironing supplies from its 60,000 sq ft distribution unit at Prestige House.
Emma Hollindale, director of operations at Hangerworld said: “As one of the UK’s fastest growing exporters, it is important that we have a team which is knowledgeable, adaptable and proactive to help our company grow, develop and remain competitive in a notoriously difficult sector.
“Working alongside PHX to identify where they can support our team’s development has given us the opportunity to hone and enhance our employees’ skills, knowledge and confidence, the result of which is a positive and thriving business.”
The PHX team of qualified trainers delivers a diverse range of resources including offline, online and face-to-face services at eight training centres in Barrow, Blackpool, Carlisle, Morecambe, Preston, Workington, Cleator Moor and Southport.
