Bnode: based in Huddersfield

Bnode are based in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire – ideally situated within the Leeds, Manchester and Sheffield City Region triangle, and just off the M62 motorway corridor.

Bnode provides training services and support for Yorkshire and the surrounding regions, including Calderdale, North Yorkshire, the Yorkshire Dales and Lancashire.

Whilst we also work with clients UK-wide to deliver training, Yorkshire has that special place in our hearts and always will.

In-person and online training for Huddersfield, West Yorkshire

Bnode and MD Chris Naylor specialise in training delivery and workshops. If you are based in Huddersfield, Kirklees, Calderdale or West Yorkshire, the training or workshop can be delivered in-person – onsite or at a venue of your choice. If you prefer the training to be delivered remotely then that’s fine too – whichever delivery method suits you best.

Website Accessibility Training, Ethical Marketing Training, Business Inclusivity Training, Sustainable and Low Carbon Business Practices Training, or Internal Web Development Team Training are just some of the skills and training areas that we can deliver to your business or organisation.

Using his skills, knowledge and experience gained over many years of being in business, as well as keeping up to date with the latest best practice, Chris and Bnode has helped businesses and organisations in the local Huddersfield and Kirklees area to upskill and train themselves and their staff. Not only helping raise awareness and understanding of ethical business practices like Accessibility, Carbon Reduction, Diversity and Inclusion, and Ethical Digital Marketing, but also giving businesses and organisations the tools with which to make a real impact and implement meaningful change.

So, whether your business or organisation operates exclusively in Huddersfield or within Kirklees or Calderdale, across West Yorkshire or the wider Yorkshire region, or even has national reach all over the UK, we can help you with your training needs – delivered online or in-person.

Contact us to see how working together with Bnode to deliver training will make a real difference.

 

Website Accessibility Audits and Training

Do you want to be more accessible and inclusive – in terms of your website and your business operations?

We offer Accessibility Audits and deliver Accessibility Training across Huddersfield, Kirklees and West Yorkshire.

In the first instance, we’ll audit and assess your existing website and make recommendations for improvement, and Bnode are your ideal partner for accessible web design and development in the Huddersfield area should a completely new and fully accessible website be required. Chris will also train you and your employees, members of staff, stakeholders or volunteers on all aspects of Accessibility and inclusivity within your local business or organisation.

Enhance your brand awareness and retain or recruit more staff by showing the world that you’re an inclusive, accessible and sustainable business that’s great to work for or be part of. Nurture a Yorkshire workplace culture with strong values, is supportive and inclusive, and that has a focus on trust and equal treatment.

The training highlighted the importance of making our digital content more accessible and gave us numerous tools to achieve this. Chris was engaging and answered my many questions.

Many of our volunteers have additional needs and are neurodivergent so the workshop that Chris did was particularly important for them.

Inclusivity Training for You and your Team

Do you want to be more inclusive – both online and in your business, towards current team members and potential new employees?

We can help you with that too.

We hear a lot about ‘workplace culture’ these days...

With negative words like ‘toxic’ and ‘gas lighting’ used to describe that culture at some places of work because a company just isn’t up to scratch and doesn’t embrace the values that are expected in the modern workplace. High rates of sickness, lateness and staff turnover are warning signs that you don’t have the modern, inclusive workplace culture that’s expected today. Unfortunately, some Yorkshire workplaces are so bad that not only are they rated among the worst places to work in the Yorkshire region but in the whole of England! Definitely not something to be proud about …

Conversely, Yorkshire also has some of the best places to work in the UK too. Which is worth shouting about! Work with Chris and you too could win an award or accolade for having an amazing, rewarding, inclusive, and empowering workplace.

Chris Naylor is a Member of the Kirklees Council D&I Steering group and a lecturer in D&I at Kirklees College. This firsthand knowledge and experience of diversity and inclusion means that he is ideally suited to support your business or organisation with quality Inclusivity Training.

Enhance your reputation and show the world that you’re an amazing inclusive business or organisation that’s great to work for or be associated with.
