The Burton-based firm, which owns and manages brands including Fayre & Square and Flaming Grill, has hired 11 full time trainers to work across its five apprenticeship training programmes, as it forges ahead with its goal of having a least one apprentice in every pub.
Earlier this year Spirit set out plans to double the number of candidates on its Apprenticeship Scheme - the firm currently has more than 1,500 candidates on an apprenticeship with 70 new recruits added each month.
“By recruiting our own team of apprenticeship trainers we are able to focus on growing the number of candidates as well as further developing the way in which training is delivered,” Jo Bradford, national qualifications manager for Spirit Pub Company said.
