Baker Hospitality - Leadership Training
Baker Hospitality is a growing independent hospitality group based in Essex. The Sun Inn, Dedham opened in 2003, followed by Church Street Tavern in Colchester and most recently, The White Hart Inn on Mersea Island in 2022.
I created a blended programme of in-person and online leadership development workshops for the groups managers and assistant managers. Some of the participants had been in the business for many years but have been promoted as it has grown, others were relatively new to the business. None had had any formal management training previously and a priority was for them to get to know each other and improve communication and learning across the group.
