Learning Events

A programme aimed at building valuable skills to enable businesses to trade effectively.  These include seminars, commercial skills workshops and learning journeys.

Targeted both at individuals who are starting their career in the food and drink industry and professionals with experience of the sector who want to refresh and develop their skills, we have relevant events for all levels.

Our learning events are a combination of structured learning and delegate interaction, including group discussion, role play activities, brain-storming sessions and observational tours.  

They are also an excellent opportunity to network with industry experts and colleagues and to discuss individual business challenges, exchange information and share best practice.   

Skills Workshops


Our workshops are run in association with industry experts, with a wealth of expertise in mentoring and developing the skills of food and drink sector professionals.  

Topics such as sales and marketing, account management, negotiation skills and category management are just some of the disciplines we offer.  We also run sector specific courses such as Understanding the Foodservice Market and Accessing the Speciality Retail Sector.

Learning Journeys

These are detailed leaning opportunities and are structured to include a combination of workshop learning and in-field experiences, such as study tours.  Typically, they run over 2-days and include an evening working element.  Guest appearances from industry experts and live case studies are also part of our Learning Journeys.
