work experience students have been employed at Harrison’s once they have finished their education. All catering employees embark on
a three-month induction programme to introduce them to the Harrison culture and family values. Employees are assisted throughout their career and are supported to achieve NVQ qualifications at all levels. Harrison recognises that hospitality
offers great career opportunities and that practical culinary skills and knowledge are transferable to other areas of the business. As Geoffrey says: ‘‘It’s not only about developing the core craft skills, it’s also about recognising the next steps and providing people with opportunities for personal growth”. There are many success stories at Harrison and plenty of opportunities for career progression. The training and development of employees is paramount, whether they want to learn a new craft or develop management and leadership skills.
Case study Graeme White, purchasing manager Graeme has come up through the ranks and his story is truly inspiring and showcases how craft qualifications always remain valuable throughout your hospitality career. Graeme held previous positions as a chef and executive chef before taking on various general management and food and beverage management positions within the food industry. He joined Harrison as a purchasing manager in 2008 and has never looked back. ‘I’m proud to say that even back then, Harrison was living the company values and was providing quality meals, prepared on-site from fresh produce. This was way before the public were made aware of what was being served by some caterers in educational establishments and

as a chef it really attracted me to the organisation.” Graeme is now responsible
for purchasing all food and supplies and he works closely with organisations such as the Soil Association and Red Tractor. Graeme said: “It’s an interesting and varied role, and I’m grateful for Harrison’s support and encouragement. It’s not only been instrumental in my development, but for many others throughout the organisation.”
