COLLAS DAY was thrilled to reach the final three of this year’s Awards for Achievement excellence in training award. The law firm came joint runner-up with hedge-fund experts Financial Risk Management and behind Specsavers Training Academy.

Human resources manager Jo Cottell said: ‘We entered the awards last year and, while we were shortlisted, we didn’t make the final three,’ she said. ‘There were just so many new strategies that we’d implemented during the last 12 months, we felt we deserved some recognition.’

‘Training is absolutely vital to us and we like to think that it is something that’s sets us apart. We are particularly proud of the fact that we are licensed by the Solicitors’ Regulatory Authority to train up English solicitors and currently have four going through that process at the moment.’
