Monday, 14 August 2017

CPL Training Group, the hospitality sector’s largest training company, has scooped an award at the City of Liverpool Business Awards 2017 (COLBA). The Birkenhead-based company claimed the ‘Chief Executive’s Award’, which is chosen by Downtown In Business boss Frank McKenna.

Downtown, a leading private sector lobby group, organises the annual COLBA event to recognise the achievements of leading businesses from across the city region. This year’s gala ceremony was held on Thursday 17th July at Sefton Park’s Palm House, and saw over 220 business leaders in attendance.

Daniel Davies, chief executive of CPL Training Group, said: “We are delighted to have won the Chief Executive’s Award at this year’s COLBA event. Whether it’s investing in local talent or establishing regional links, this award serves as recognition of our contribution to Liverpool’s diverse business sector. On behalf of CPL Training Group, I’d like to thank Frank McKenna and his Downtown team; we look forward to building on our relationship in the future.”

On the evening of the awards, Downtown chief executive Frank McKenna said: “Tonight’s guest list is impressive enough, but the calibre of nominees this evening is spectacular, year on year Liverpool continues to improve and these awards aim to reward those who deserve the recognition. The quality of business leadership in Liverpool never ceases to amaze me, and events like The City of Liverpool Business Awards are designed to recognise just that. Congratulations to all of tonight’s winners and all of the award sponsors."
