“As one of the leading fresh food producers in the UK it is the policy of
Cranswick plc to ensure that its products are safe, legal and of the quality specified by our customers.
Central to delivering this policy is the investment we make in training and developing our employees, as a result we have identified VWA as our preferred training provider and over the years have made good use of the facilities at Skipton as well as holding several bespoke courses in situ at Cranswick.
Feedback from course participants is always very positive and the team at VW seem very attuned to our training needs.”
Andrew Caines, Group Technical Director, Cranswick Country Foods plc
“The way in which my initial enquiry was handled was first class. Very informative and professional, whilst being friendly, 100%.”
Chris Schaffer, Bakery Training Co-ordinator, Ginsters
“In the past year I have attended two training courses provided by VWA. In both cases the trainers were knowledgeable and experienced within their field and the course materials provided were excellent.
The courses were well organised and VWA staff were friendly and professional at all times.
In particular the venue, at Broughton Hall, was conducive to learning and I felt that VWA had struck the correct balance between challenging and supportive in delivering the course content.
It is important to me personally, and to the Company, that training providers are able to offer accreditation by recognised external institutions such as RIPH and CIEH, for successful candidates.”
Mike Stewart, Technical Manager, AAK UK Limited
“I personally have attended 4 courses run by VWA and have found them all to be incredibly useful in terms of content and relevance.
Whether the course has been run on site, or at VWA premises, the delivery and style of the trainers really makes learning an easy and enjoyable experience.
As a site we employ over 350 people and the online food hygiene course supplied by VWA really solved a problem for us, with its flexibility and accessibility. Such has been the success of the course, we are thinking of including it in our induction process for all new employees,
In terms of delivering food safety training, VWA remain a valuable partner in ensuring that our staff receive the best training possible.”
Nick Tuddenham, Aseptic Quality Manager, Cott Beverages, Nelson
“I have been delighted with both the quality of course materials and delivery of the training that VWA has provided for my management team, which has proved to be an invaluable learning experience for all concerned.
I look forward to progressing our relationship into the future, confident that our standards will continue to improve based upon the quality of VWA’s training.”
Paul Green, Food & Beverages Manager, Ribby Hall Village
“We use VWA to train our staff on the more advanced courses such as Level 4 Food Safety and Lead Auditor. They have also run several in-house HACCP courses for us over the years. We are very happy with the service we receive, and the support given to our staff in achieving their qualifications. In addition we have benefited from ongoing support for delegates both during and after the courses.”
