TRAINING COURSES Despite busy diaries, 2024 has seen a full timetable of training, ensuring our team continue to gain valuable skills. This has taken the form of bespoke training for specific areas such as project management, as well as group courses recently held to upskill the team in Persuasive Communication, Performance Selling and Advancing Negotiation skills. In addition a number of the team are progressing through their WSET Diploma.
Hatch Wine School opened its doors in March of this year offering Wine & Spirit Education Trust (WSET) courses for customers and Hatch staff, from the convenience of the NBH Boardroom. With Debs, Olivier and Al taking a block of training each, 20 students passed their Level 1 Award in Wines and 27 passed Level 2 (with 40% gaining a Distinction) in Hatch’s first year as a WSET Approved Programme Provider (APP). The WSET calendar is being firmed up for 2025 and congratulations goes to John Ferguson- Smith joining the team as an additional WSET Certified Educator, having attended and passed the WSET’s (very gruelling!) Educator training course over the summer. Dates will be circulated very soon but if anyone would like to undertake the Level 1 or 2 themselves or book customers in for either level, please contact Jen on wset@hatch.co.uk.
