Welcome to the Summer edition of the Quinns Training Services newsletter!
The past few months have been packed with exciting developments, major wins, and continued growth across the business. From receiving a prestigious Welsh training award to embracing cutting-edge AI innovation, QTS has been making strides in training, industry engagement, and community impact.
Here’s a round-up of everything we’ve been up to as we hit the halfway point of 2025.
🏆 QTS Wins Prestige Health & Safety Training Provider of the Year
We’re beyond proud to announce that Quinns Training Services has been named Health & Safety Training Provider of the Year – Wales by the Wales & South West England Prestige Awards!
This recognition is a massive honour for us as a growing, independent training provider based in Wales. It reflects the dedication and professionalism of our brilliant team — and the trust placed in us by our clients and delegates.
We’ll be officially accepting the award at Ashton Gate Stadium in July, and we’re thrilled to be representing our region on such a meaningful platform.
Thank you to everyone who’s supported QTS — this award is yours too! 💙
🤖 Embracing Innovation: Our Collaboration with Hartree Centre Cardiff
We’re proud to have recently partnered with the Hartree Centre Cardiff Hub to explore the use of artificial intelligence in developing smarter training resources.
Together with their team of expert data scientists, we’ve created an AI-powered system that helps streamline the creation of training materials — saving time while ensuring accuracy, relevance, and a human touch.
“What I enjoyed most about the project was the fact that it could be used for many different types of training document, making it potentially useful in many different teaching areas.”
– Marc Roig Vilamala, Hartree Centre
Big thanks to the Hartree team for their collaboration and innovation — we’re excited about what this means for the future of training delivery.
🔜 QTS to Exhibit at EUSR Conference & Awards 2025

🌿 Investing in Our Team – Congratulations Megan & Anna!
At QTS, we believe in practicing what we preach — which means investing in our own people just as we invest in yours.
We’re delighted to celebrate Megan Pippin and Anna Falvey James, who recently completed the IEMA Foundation Certificate in Environmental Management.
Supported by a Cardiff-based funding initiative, this qualification strengthens their knowledge of sustainability and environmental best practices — skills that are becoming increasingly vital across the industries we serve.
This is just one step in our ongoing journey to support personal development, ESG values, and impactful training.
🩹 Training That Makes a Difference: Boomerang Cardiff Case Study
We recently had the privilege of delivering a bespoke First Aid course for Boomerang Cardiff, a local community charity.
Led by our trainer Heather, the session covered:
- Defibrillator use
- Choking response for adults & children
- Emergency response and preparedness
Attendees included Boomerang staff, community partners, and BNI chapter members. The session was praised as warm, inclusive, and empowering.
“The course was fantastic — it gave us so much confidence. Heather was so patient and knowledgeable.”
– Stacey Gwilym, Boomerang Cardiff
It’s always a pleasure to work with organisations making a difference — and we look forward to future collaborations.
