Cytech training centre upscales operation

Posted on 5 Jun 2017

ATG Training, the leading provider of Cytech accredited training to the cycles sector, has recently relocated its Stafford operation to enable it to enhance its service delivery to customers.

Located across three centres within the UK at Aylesbury, London and Stafford, ATG Training had outgrown its previous premises and had been looking for a new site. At 180m2, the new workshop at Stafford's Tollgate Business Centre is almost double the size of the previous space, offering more room, better accessibility, light and ventilation, as well as more modern training facilities to further improve the learner experience.

Stafford new workshopCommenting on the move, Suzanne Read, Operations Manager for Cycles at ATG Training said: "The need for new premises is a real testament to the growing demand we're seeing from customers. There seems to be an increasing awareness of the benefits of gaining industry-recognised training and the new workshop allows us to offer our courses in a modern, light and airy environment. Feedback has been really positive from all learners who have so far used our new facility".

Speaking on behalf of Cytech, Assistant Brand Manager Dan Roberts commented "The move to a bigger and better space will allow ATG Training to deliver the best possible training experience to all Cytech candidates. This continued commitment to development and re-investment is just one of the reasons that we are proud to recognise ATG Training as the leading provider of Cytech training worldwide."

Following on from the success of last week's Cytech Wheel Building course, the team is excited about the future of its course delivery. To find out more, go to www.atg-training.co.uk.
