Training and development
We believe our success as a company stems from the Managers and teams of people we employ to run our pubs and bars. To enable them to carry out their jobs efficiently and to the best of their ability, we offer training for all members of our team, held at our on-site Management Development Centre and Training Kitchen.
Our award winning management development programme starts with the Bronze Award, ensuring that all team members are given the skills and knowledge to carry out their job role to our standards. The Silver Award develops our supervisors and backs up their on-job training with nationally recognised qualifications, so that they become an essential part of the Management team in their house. The Gold Award for our Assistant Managers gives them the competence and confidence to take charge in their Manager’s absence and to run their own pubs and bars in the future.
The training and development doesn’t end there. We also run development courses for our bar and kitchen staff and for our experienced managers – anything from chalkboard skills and cooking the perfect steak to leadership programmes.
