NHS England

For us in the NHS quality is really important and Ofsted Outstanding is important not many providers have that so I think that's a big USP. I also like how proactive Remit's approach is, how they have approached me to do things, its clear they are keen to understand our challenges in the NHS and offer solutions.

Jackie Batey, Learning and Growing Manager

The team at Remit are well organised and are meticulous in arranging their meetings, with their learners and go out of their way to ensure that all learners are well supported. We also have a monthly meeting to discuss progress of learners and address any areas of concern, agreeing strategies to overcome any issues. This has led to an excellent working partnership.

It’s been about 9 years we’ve been in partnership for which has been an absolutely unbelievable journey. We work in absolute unity with Remit, they’ve worked with us to really understand our culture, our DNA, what’s needed for our people, the Development Coaches talk in our language, they really understand Stonegate as a business and that’s a partnership.

Why we chose Remit? Automotive is the core for Remit..it’s also their ability to change. The automotive industry is changing massively and it’s changing quicker and quicker and Remit have that ability to change and it’s driven all the way through. We’ve worked with the Scottish arm of the business for some years now and we’ve found that relationship to be really productive so my thoughts would be that would spread across the business, and my thoughts would be correct.
