Major UK Companies & Organisations

The main body of The Training Manager’s Yearbook 2009, starting on page 43, contains an alphabetical list of over 8,750 UK companies. A sample entry showing all the information included within these entries can be found on page 14. Companies within the directory all have their own training department or an individual responsible for training. Additionally, we aim to list other information that is relevant to the training function, including details of the type of training undertaken, training providers used and training budgets. Subsidiary companies are listed under their own entry as far as possible except where their training function is centralised by the parent company.

This section is of principal interest to:

• Training Managers who wish to contact fellow training professionals in other major UK companies
• Anyone looking to move within the industry or network with professionals in other companies
• Suppliers or researchers wishing to identify particular training staff
• Researchers looking at the breakdown of the training function in the largest companies in the UK

In addition to the main alphabetical listing, companies are listed in two key indexes, which can be found in the centre of the directory after the major companies entries. Here companies are listed by:

• Geographical Region - by county (starting on page 504). This also indicates the number of companies in each region at the beginning of each category
• Business Activity - by industry (starting on page 545). This also indicates the number of companies in each industry sector at the beginning of each category

The new Training Contacts index (starting on page 583) lists contact names by surname of Training Officers, Managers, Directors and Management Development Managers
