Bakemark UK launches world class learning centre

Leading bakery products supplier BakeMark UK has pledged a long-term investment in its people with the launch of a new Learning Resource Centre. Offering employees training courses in a broad range of subjects ranging from IT and numeracy to literacy and modern languages, the centre aims to increase the skills of BakeMark UK staff to create a world class workforce.

The new Learning Centre has been set up in conjunction with USDAW to help develop students' competencies in areas that will benefit their personal development as well as add value to the company. Courses include IT courses to help people make the most of software and language courses for people who work with colleagues throughout Europe, for example.

Marco Bertacca, Vice-President, Frozen and Bakery Products, CSM Bakery Supplies Europe said: "Our people are the lifeblood of BakeMark UK and we have made this significant investment to help boost skills across the business. At a time when the bakery industry is enjoying renewed growth, particularly in the healthy and speciality bread sectors, our strategic vision is to continue to lead the market in developing innovative new products. We want to create a world leading organisation and investing in staff training and development is key to achieving this goal."

Kevin Murray, Food Manufacturer at BakeMark UK said: "I've just gained a qualification in literacy and I am already studying for the next level. I feel that BakeMark UK is taking an interest in helping and supporting my progression."

Sue Prynn, USDAW Learning Coordinator, said: "We work with a variety of UK companies to encourage them to take part in learning programmes. We are delighted that BakeMark UK has made this substantial commitment to investing in people, which, ultimately, is to the benefit of all involved. I feel now, with all the training that USDAW has given me, we will make the Learning Resource Centre a huge success."
