Investing in People: GVA’s Commitment to Continuous, Professional Training
At GVA, we know that safety, professionalism, and industry expertise all begin with one thing — well-trained people. That’s why we make a continuous investment in our team’s development, ensuring every member of staff is trained and refreshed by qualified, Lantra-accredited professionals.
Recently, Andrew Fletcher, GVA’s Lantra Corporate Training Instructor and Co-ordinator, led a skills refresher session for our team at the GVA Training Centre. These sessions form part of an ongoing commitment shared by both Andrew and GVA to keep our workforce, and the environments we work within, as safe and efficient as possible.
“In an industry where safety and standards are non-negotiable, regular professional training is vital. It’s about giving our teams confidence, competence, and the assurance that they’re working to the highest possible standard.” says Andrew Fletcher.
Safety, Standards and Continuous Improvement
Our dedication to professional training reflects GVA’s core values: Safety & Professional Standards, Industry Expertise & Innovation, and Community & Culture. Every refresher course we run is more than a compliance exercise — it’s an opportunity to learn, improve, and share best practice across our teams and our wider industry.
By investing in ongoing, accredited training, we’re ensuring that:
- Every project is delivered safely and efficiently, in line with industry regulations.
- Staff remain confident and competent in using equipment and managing risk.
