SIS wins prestigious Princess Royal Training Award for learning and development

The SIS LEADERship programme works with individuals to accelerate their progress within the company

SIS (Sports Information Services), the leading multi-content provider of 24/7 live betting services, has been awarded the prestigious Princess Royal Training Award in recognition of its LEADERship Programme.

The programme, which has been running for the last five years in collaboration with training consultancy firm, Co-Creation, was recognised by the award’s creators the City & Guilds Foundation, alongside HRH The Princess Royal following a rigorous application process.  The recipients announced last Friday (15^th August), on Her Royal Highness’ 75^th birthday, will be presented with their award at a ceremony later this year.

As a company with a rich heritage of providing a best-in-class service to its partners, SIS invests in a comprehensive range of skills development activities for delegates across the 12-month LEADERship programme.

Through Co-Creation’s master classes, the LEADERship programme works with individuals, equipping them with the necessary skills to take their next step within the company.

Confidence building, delegation, presenting, and the encouragement of cross-department engagement are areas the programme focuses on, with its implementation having a significant impact on employees who continue to rise through the SIS ranks.

Launched in 2016 by the City & Guilds foundation, the Princess Royal Training Awards rewards and celebrates organisations who have created outstanding training programmes that have led to exceptional company results.  

Gail Haworth, Head of HR Business Partnering at SIS, said:

“Over the last five years, our graduates from the Programme have continued to progress impressively, taking on more responsibilities and genuine leadership roles throughout the business.

“With that in mind, it’s a great honour to accept the Princess Royal Training Award, in this special tenth anniversary award year, which underscores our commitment to creating high quality training initiatives and a culture of learning that empowers individuals to thrive.”

Kath Thomas at Co-Creation, said:

“We are incredibly proud to see the LEADERship programme receive such a prestigious accolade, which is a testament to the long-term investment in people by SIS and their belief in the power of purposeful development.”

Keith Stopforth at Co-Creation, said:

“Co-creating this journey with the SIS team over the last five years has been a privilege, and it has been inspiring to watch so many individuals grow into confident, capable leaders making real impact across the business.”
