People are our greatest asset, and we are very proud of the recognition which we have received from independent bodies which have awarded us in this area.
We seek to develop staff through effective and award-winning training and development, through a positive working environment and, of course, by means of a decent pay packet.
Every year, thousands of staff complete one or more training courses, not only preparing them to work safely and to the best of their ability, but also inspiring them to pursue positive career development.
We set the industry benchmarks, as we aim to be the best.
Our achievements
We have developed the Advanced Diploma in Leisure Retail Management for pub and area managers, in association with Nottingham Trent University, allowing all of our pub managers to gain a university qualification. Thirteen managers – the first of many – have completed their BA (Hons) degree course in licensed retail management. This is an 18-month-long course for those staff who had previously completed the diploma.
We received an award from the Employers Forum on Age for ‘leading our sector’ in this area.
For the fifth year running, we featured in Britain’s Top 100 Employers handbook, published by The Guardian.
We lead the way in training for managed house pub companies, recently winning the Supreme Award from the British Institute of Innkeeping (BII), for four consecutive years.
