New Training Academy Opens to Empower Employee Growth

Posted on May 28, 2025 by Emma Hodgson

We’re proud to unveil an exciting new chapter in our commitment to employee development: the launch of our brand-new Training Academy. What was once traditional office space has been thoughtfully transformed into a dynamic learning environment, designed to support the continuous growth and success of our people.

The Training Academy is more than just a physical space, it’s a hub of opportunity. From hands-on manufacturing skills and leadership development to compliance training and apprenticeship programs, the Academy offers a wide range of sessions tailored to meet the diverse needs of our workforce.

“Our people are our greatest asset,” said Michele Bickerton, People & Development Director. “This investment in training is an investment in their future, and in the future of our business.”

Why Training Matters

At the heart of the Academy is a simple belief: when our people grow, we all grow. Here’s how our training programs are making a difference:

  • Career Progression: Employees can build new skills that open doors to advancement and new opportunities.
  • Safety & Compliance: Regular training ensures everyone stays up to date with essential policies and procedures, creating a safer workplace for all.
  • Role-Specific Expertise: Industry-focused sessions provide deep knowledge tailored to specific job functions.
  • Confidence & Capability: Whether it’s mastering a technical skill or stepping into a leadership role, our training boosts both confidence and competence.

A Space to Learn, Lead, and Succeed

The new Academy is designed to be flexible and inclusive, offering something for everyone, whether you are looking to upskill, explore a new area, or simply refresh your knowledge. With a mix of in-person workshops, digital learning tools, and expert-led sessions, employees can learn in the way that suits them best.

This initiative reflects our ongoing dedication to creating a workplace where learning never stops and where every team member has the tools they need to thrive.
