The NWHTG has been established for over 20 years. It exists to help all sectors of the industry to fulfil their training needs, both for Management and staff.

The Group is able to help small and large businesses. Smaller employers benefit from the variety of training made available through an open course programme, whilst larger businesses are able to utilise the Group services for some of their bespoke work and to put new or promoted members of staff through training.

The geographical area covered by the Group has extended during the years and now includes West Yorkshire and North Wales as well as Lancashire, Cheshire and South Cumbria.

A small committee consisting of elected chairman, treasurer and members manages the Group. Appointed Group organisers, currently Elaine Roberts and Sue McGrath of Millhouse Training Services, provide the secretariat.

For membership details and a benefits package please contact Elaine or Sue at info@millhousetraining.co.uk

What Group members think about the NWHTG:

‘Although we are big enough to arrange much of our own training, being members of the NWHTG enables us to fill gaps in our programme to benefit individuals and to source specialist training when we need it.'

‘The NWHTG offers a comprehensive range of courses that enable us to obtain exactly the right training, be it ‘off the peg' or ‘tailor made'. This ensures that we develop progressively and we are able to keep up with the constant flow of legislation.'

‘The NWHTG provides economical and well thought out training for all areas of our industry. The Group also keeps us up to date with current techniques and new legislation.'
