Family-run ACW Medical Services has been awarded a two-year contract for first aid training for Sheffield City Council’s 8,000 employees.
It’s the first time an external provider has been selected, rather than the council’s in-house trainers.
ACW was founded by Kelly and Matt Wooller in 2021, and will now train council teams weekly from three venues in the city. MD Kelly Wooller said: “This is a significant contract for our fast-growing first aid training business. We don’t use ‘typical’ one size fits all training materials or props. We adapt the training to the experiences and professional requirements of the participants. And, we make it fun! This is how we ensure our trainees get involved and retain the essential skills and knowledge we pass on to them.”
ACW Medical Services have their own training centre in Dronfield and work predominantly with customers across Derbyshire and Yorkshire. Training takes place within the customer’s workplace or, as is the case with the Sheffield City Council contract, accessible venues nearby such as Sheffield United Football Club and Barnsley College.
