One of the UK’s leading training companies that is based in Stone has taken on new staff to cope with the expanded services it offers the licensed, hospitality, leisure events and tourism industries.
abv Training, which was established in September 2001 and is based on the Whitebridge trading estate in Stone, will be rolling out BII Level 4 Certificate in Multiple Licensed Premises Management (MLPM) courses early in the new year.
Staff at abv Training will also shortly be running new ‘Whisky Ambassador’ courses for licensed trade professionals to help them maximise sales and cash in on the whisky-drinking boom across the UK.
To cope with the extra business and to help consolidate its increasing share of the training market, the company has taken on a number of new hires.
Claire Chester has been appointed Internal Verifier. Claire holds an MA in hospitality management and has vast experience working with two high profile awarding bodies, writing course and assessment materials as well as being an assessment associate. She is working on the launch of the MLPM courses and with the apprenticeship delivery team to ensure the firm’s high standards are maintained.
Claire Spencer is a new employee at head office, working as Examinations Administrator. Claire’s key role is to ensure all examination materials and related paperwork are prepared, dispatched and processed in line with awarding body requirements. Her previous role at Wedgewood ensures she has the eye for detail required in this post.
Finally, Nick Rennie has been appointed communications manager. Nick is an experienced journalist after working for more than 20 years in national, regional and local newspapers. He holds an MA in public relations and has worked with clients in a variety of industries.
Frazer Grant, abv Training chief executive, said: “I am really excited about the year ahead. We have made some fantastic additions to our excellent team which will help us continue to deliver training to the high standards we pride ourselves on.”
