Protocol Consultancy Services is proud to announce that we are one of 57 organisations across the UK to receive the prestigious Princess Royal Training Awards in 2025. This national recognition celebrates employers who demonstrate exceptional commitment to training, professional development and workplace learning.
Delivered by the City & Guilds Foundation and personally approved by Princess Anne, the awards highlight organisations that use high-quality training to create measurable impact for both their workforce and the wider communities they serve.
Receiving this recognition reinforces Protocol’s reputation as a leading organisation in training, skills development and workforce learning across the UK.
Protocol received the award in recognition of our Continuous Professional Development (CPD) and internal mentoring programme, which supports the growth of our employees while also delivering tangible benefits to the employers, apprentices and partners we work with.
At Protocol, we believe that investing in staff development leads directly to better outcomes for the organisations and learners we support. Our CPD framework encourages continuous learning, professional progression and collaboration across teams.
By embedding professional development into our organisational culture, we ensure that our staff remain knowledgeable, skilled and equipped to support employers with apprenticeships, workforce development and training solutions.
This commitment to internal development enables Protocol to deliver a high-quality service that strengthens skills across the education and employment sectors.
Representing Protocol at the awards ceremony were Managing Director Sue Tipton MBE and our Operations Director Craig Higham. They attended the celebration event in London on Tuesday 2 December 2025, alongside organisations from across the UK who are leading the way in workplace training and development.
The ceremony brought together employers from a range of industries who share a common commitment to developing talent, supporting employee growth and strengthening skills across their organisations.
For Protocol, the recognition reflects the dedication and expertise of our entire team.
