On Friday, 9th October, our Mental Health Champions hosted a 10k walk and run in honor of World Mental Health Day. We had 54 colleagues join in, whether stepping out from our Ilkley office or taking on their own local routes.

It was fantastic to get together, catch up, and refuel with a well-earned pizza truck lunch afterwards. Best of all, with High Speed Training donating £30 for every participant, we raised an amazing £1,620 for Mental Health UK! 💙

Huge thank you to everyone who stepped up and made it such a brilliant day 👟✨

To recognise this year’s National Inclusion Week campaign, Build Trust. Navigate Change, we decided to try a new approach.

Our Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging (EDIB) Committee designed an interactive, team-led workshop called The Change Odyssey. The workshop put our real-time adaptability and collaborative spirit to the test.

As surprise rules were introduced throughout the 45-minute session, each team had to pivot quickly and leverage individual strengths to overcome unexpected obstacles.

Strong, inclusive teams require more than aligned goals, they flourish when varied perspectives are welcomed, every voice is heard, and collaborative practices enable everyone to contribute fully. We put those values directly into practice during the challenge 🧡

From a team of 40 in Ilkley to 116 colleagues working remotely, growing our business meant ensuring our culture grew right alongside us.

We recently sat down with Best Companies to share how High Speed Training has maintained a top-tier 3-Star Accreditation while scaling, transitioning to employee ownership, and nurturing team wellbeing.

Key takeaways from the spotlight:

🧠 Wellbeing first - scoring 11% above the Education & Training sector average for Wellbeing through flexible initiatives like Summer & Festive Fridays and Mental Health Champions.
🤝 Employee owned voice - empowering team-led committees to shape inclusion, sustainability, and community initiatives.
🏆 Recognition & growth - scoring 7% above sector average for Fair Deal, offering peer recognition, and providing an annual £250 personal development budget.

A huge thank you to Best Companies for the feature, and to our incredible team who make High Speed Training such a great place to work! 🧡

High Speed Training recently teamed up with Ilkley Youth & Community Centre to bring a new external mural to life! ✨

Designed in collaboration with the youth club members, the artwork blends some iconic Ilkley landmarks with graffiti-style elements. The intention was to make a visible statement that everyone is welcome at the centre, which strives to be a truly inclusive space for young people in the town.

Here’s how our team brought it together:

🤝 As a business with our own in-house media team, this was a great opportunity for 3 members of our Digital Media Unit to share their skills, collaborating directly with youth club members to turn their vision into a final design.
🎨 Over 20 colleagues rolled up their sleeves during the first week of August to help paint the mural, making a lasting contribution to the people and place where our business is based.

Our Head of Social Impact, Amy Mortimer, said: "When we heard about the intention to create an eye-catching external mural for the Ilkley Youth Centre, we were excited to lend our expertise. The mural sends a very clear message that 'everyone belongs here' and that's something that really matters to us as a business too."

Through our commitment to providing 5 days of paid volunteering leave for colleagues each year, we’re proud to maximise the opportunities to give back in the community.

Over the Summer months, a group of High Speed Training colleagues stepped away from their desks to support three local charities as part of our ongoing volunteering in the community:

🌿 We teamed up with our charity partner, the Yorkshire Dales Millennium Trust, to help create new wildflower meadows in Malham.
🪁 At the Nell Bank Outdoor Education Centre, Ilkley, our volunteers helped to deliver one of their 'Family Fun Days' - supporting around 450 visitors as they enjoyed water play, bird hunts, adventure playgrounds, and webbed-feet races!
🥕 A team spent the day with FareShare Greater Manchester, getting hands-on with their distribution efforts and seeing firsthand how they support communities and food charities across the UK.

A massive thank you to these brilliant charities for welcoming us and to every team member who showed up to make a difference. 💚

Yesterday was Book Lovers Day, the perfect opportunity to curl up with a good book and celebrate everything we love about reading! 📚

Here at High Speed Training, we’ve got a whole community of bookworms in our very own HST Book Club. 🐛📖 Every month, the group gets together to chat about what they’ve been reading and swap recommendations. We’ve also got an open Slack channel where any colleague can pop in, share a read, or just talk books. It’s become a brilliant way for colleagues across different teams to connect over a shared love of literature 🧡

Last week, a group of our volunteers were out helping Friends of Ilkley Riverside Parks 🌿☀️

The original date in June had been rescheduled due to poor weather but the sun was shining last week and thankfully, the group were able to make the most of some shade while they were working! The team helped clear a large area in the nursery section, removing lots of weeds ready for more planting to take place.

We look forward to returning this autumn to help the team prepare the park for the winter months, just as we have done in previous years.

Last month, to celebrate World Environment Day, our EnvironMentors committee introduced a fresh internal initiative: Nature Hour 🌻

Every colleague was invited to take one protected hour to spend in nature. The purpose was to simply take a moment to pause, breathe, and connect with the natural world. Colleagues used their time to take an extended lunchtime stroll, spending time in their garden planting, or exploring their local park or green area.

At High Speed Training, we are dedicated to reducing our environmental impact. This initiative was a way to bring that purpose to life. Being in nature also provides a significant wellbeing boost, with colleagues sharing that this had a positive impact on their day 🌳🌞

We are proud to have maintained our 3-star accreditation as a 'world class' place to work! Best Companies ⭐⭐⭐

This is a testament to our people. Every one of us contributes to making High Speed Training a great place to work, and these results highlight our award-winning engagement and unique culture.

The feedback from our b-Heard survey is vital. It celebrates our core strengths while providing a roadmap for further growth and development. We are eager to build on this momentum by working together on new team commitments and further improving our remote-first culture and colleague experience 👏
