Poole based food manufacturer, Kerry Foods, is nourishing its talented workforce with continuous training opportunities to help them and the business grow together. Looking forward to maintaining their position as
a leader in the global food industry, HR Manager Simon Wootten is repeating the company’s tailor made Routes to Success management development programme in collaboration with The Bournemouth and Poole College and Weymouth based trainers People and Strategy.
This bespoke course was devised last year in close consultation with the Kerry Foods HR team and endorsed by the Institute of Management and Leadership to customise the training to suit its organisational needs.
Simon explained “This is a long term investment both by Kerry Foods and our valued new managers, whose experience and continued commitment to excellence are pivotal to our operation. This is our second cohort, and we have been able to clearly measure the impact and benefits. Indeed we have promoted as a direct result of the first round of this training which has strengthened our management layer. The staff themselves agree it has opened their minds to more strategic thinking and stronger communication.”
The training contract is managed by Business Enterprise skills advisor Jacky Grant. Jacky added, “We’re delighted to continue working with Kerry Foods in developing their managers of the future. They are a pro-active and forward thinking employer who have committed to giving their staff every opportunity to progress and we look forward to another successful outcome.”
The College’s Business Enterprise team offers a no obligation consultation service to find training solutions for businesses of all sizes across the region. To book an appointment or for an informal discussion call 01202 205500 or email be@thecollege.co.uk.
