Earlier this year Bournes in Rye was awarded the Member Award for the Best UniGroup Relocation Network Company as voted for by its members globally.

It received a cheque for €1,000 for its achievement and Wesley Bourne, Managing Director, chose to invest the money as a contribution to an upgraded in-house training centre, ‘The Bournes Academy’.

The Bournes Academy provides in-house training courses and hosts external trainers in developing the skills and careers of all its employees, both operational crews and in the move management and support functions. The company says that the new environment provides a great space for both theory and practical training with a comfortable and modern classroom setting as well as space to practice packing skills, lifting and loading.

As well as a fresh environment The Bournes Academy has also been recently approved by the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) and the Joint Approvals Unit of Periodic Training (JAUPT) as an approved training centre to provide its drivers with cost effective, convenient and relevant support in maintaining their drivers’ CPC periodic training.
