Now in its 11th year of funding, the union learning fund encourages and supports union-led learning with the help of ULRs who work in partnership to inspire, support and encourage their colleagues throughout their learning journey Tony said of his award: 'Even though it is a personal accolade to me that I am really proud to receive, it is also a tribute to all those who have been connected with the taxi and private hire training program. It has been, and still is, a fantastic development journey for me personally and I would like to thank all of those who offered support and encouragement in the past and look forward to it continuing in the future.' Tony was also congratulated by unionlearn union development co-ordinator and NTA regional panel judge, Tony Saunders, who added that 'We are really pleased for Tony and his colleagues at Merseytravel. Unionlearn has supported the Merseylearn taxi drivers' project since its inception and see this award as recognition of all the hard work ULRs and learners have put in to achieve their goals. We look forward to continuing our support and wish Tony luck in the national awards in London.' 312 words NOTES TO EDITORS: Photo attacheed is Tony Norbury receiving his award from Ranvir Singh All unionlearn press releases can be found at www.unionlearn.org.uk Media enquiries: Press release (400 words) issued 19 Oct 2009 |
