This morning 3aaa’s Managing Director, Andy Palmer, joined business and sports leaders from across Derby at an event hosted by Simon Ingham at Park Bikeworks and sponsored by Marketing Derby, Nelsons Solicitors and the Derby Telegraph to discuss the economy of sport. While the event focused on what needs to be done in relation to sport in the city to make it have an impact on the economy, Andy talked about the role that partnership with successful sports clubs has in the success of 3aaa.
Andy talked about the partnerships that we have with Derby County Football Club and Derbyshire County Cricket Club and the similarities between sports people and 3aaa Apprentices. Both are striving to be the very best that they can. Both understand the importance of discipline and training in their work. Both benefit from the advice and mentoring of people who have ‘been there, seen it, done it’. He also talked about the fact that sports clubs offer a great location to bring employers together in relaxed environments with peer to peer discussion about Apprenticeships leading, ultimately, to an increase in Apprenticeship recruitment. Simon Storey, CEO of Derbyshire County Cricket Club’ was equally passionate about the benefit that the Cricket Club has had from its association with 3aaa this season.
The meeting will be written up in the next edition of the Derby Telegraph’s ‘Agenda’ magazine and we’re looking forward to working with everyone around the table to make Derby the place where people want to come to do business.
You’ll now find a 3aaa Academy in Bedford, Birmingham, Brighton, Bristol, Cambridge, Chelmsford, Derby, Leeds, Leicester, Liverpool, London, Manchester, Milton Keynes, Newcastle, Nottingham, Oxford, Sheffield, Tamworth and Watford.
