Developing our people Our mentoring program
Crown’s Group Mentoring Program is a cross functional/brand mentoring scheme for all employees across all of Crown’s regions and support functions. The program aims to help staff enhance their skills, maximize their potential, expand their networks and consider career paths by working with other employees from across the Crown Group.
So far, 30 mentee/mentor pairs have completed the program, with another 60 in progress at the end of 2022. 76 people from across Crown Worldwide Group have signed up to be mentors. The program has proved to be hugely successful, with mentees and mentors remarking on what participation in the program has done for them.
My mentor helped guide me through processes as I stepped into my manager role. It was a holistic experience, which showed there is always so much more to learn. It was a very helpful and great experience, especially for people looking to grow within the organization. And it doesn’t all finish at the end of the program; I have been introduced to a mentor who I feel I can turn to for advice at any time – which is truly invaluable to my own development.

Our apprenticeship programs create a positive impact on individuals, our business and the local community, providing work and training offering to the next generation.
We run two types of apprenticeship programs in the UK. Our entry level apprenticeship, the Aspire Apprenticeship Program is an opportunity to nurture talent to meet the needs of our businesses. We also offer an apprenticeship program for existing staff, the Aspire Academy, helping existing staff to gain new skills, feel valued and grow in their roles.
Currently, we have 15 apprentices studying and working towards varying stages of qualifications in business administration, marketing, IT, HR and supply chain. Thirteen of these are 13 entry level apprentices and two are internal staff.
I am lucky to have a welcoming and friendly team that supports me to develop my skills and pushes me to be the very best version of myself. Who you work with makes all the difference, and from my first day, I knew I was joining a welcoming and friendly environment and have made friends with the other apprentices.
I’ve mentored several Crown colleagues in recent years, and I believe in the program strongly. By sharing my knowledge and experience, I’ve been able to help the mentee do a better job, but it’s also been rewarding for me to give something back.

“As for anyone starting a new chapter in life, it’s overwhelming and very exciting! Learning and working at the same time can sound like a challenge, yet it enables you to work on essential transferable skills. My journey has only just started, and I look forward to seeing what the future brings for me, professionally at Crown.
~ Sofia Rogoff, an entry level Marketing Assistant Apprentice, who joined Crown in September 2022
