Whittlebury Hall Hotel and Scalford Hall Hotel and Management Training Centres, have long been exhibitors at the main conference and event exhibitions, however with predictions for considerable growth in 2010 on learning, development and team building, the new Learning and Skills event at Olympia London offers a focused choice.

This exciting new event on 27 and 28 January 2010, will be an important few days in the learning industry's calendar acting as a vital hub for one of the UK economy's most dynamic sectors. In short: the must-attend event for all learning and development professionals. 

Ian Smout, Director of Learning & Skills and Learning Technologies, says "We are delighted that both Whittlebury Hall and Scalford Hall have decided to join us at the launch of our Learning & Skills event. Running in conjunction with our hugely successful Learning Technologies show, we have created the largest and most important dedicated training event in the UK and the response from learning professionals has been phenomenal. Pre registrations are running at record levels and this demonstrates the importance that UK Corporate now place on the continued development of their employees. The current economic climate dictates that skill levels must be at an all time high if organisations are to flourish and Whittlebury and Scalford Hall can play a major role in helping them achieve this."

Michael Stott, Director of Sales and Marketing, says "2010 is an important year to focus on our core market – training, management development and leadership. We understand our clients are starting to invest once again in learning, coaching and development, and so our attendance at this event is crucial to ensure our commitment to clients needs and to maximise potential business in this area. In addition, the conference and event market is of course important to us, but our approach this year is about building relationships with corporate clients and agents through an increased sales team and marketing efforts."

Whittlebury Hall and Scalford Hall are dedicated management training centres, based centrally in the UK. They provide the ideal learning environment where pressures on trainers are understood, where the facilities totally support the objective of the training sponsor and where delegates are looked after so that both during and after the training day real outcomes are seen.

Scalford Hall is a specialist provider for Day and Residential training facilities operated by the present owners since 1984.  It is an 88 bedroom, three star property near Melton Mowbray that is perfectly placed and best priced for public sector training, supervisory and operative training.  It has also just been awarded the Conde Nast Johansens award 2010 as a Most Excellent Dedicated Venue. Whittlebury Hall, near Towcester in Northamptonshire, is a multi-award winning 211 bedroom fully comprehensive centre just minutes from the M1 and M40 and halfway between London and Birmingham.

Michael Stott continues," There are many ways in which individual companies and organisations approach this investment, varying from intensive and certificated technical training that needs an efficient learning environment to motivational time spent together.  Whatever the approach adopted, there has never been a better or more cost-effective time to use professional facilities to add value through improved skills and enhanced business techniques.""
