Could your staff do with a boost?

In today's difficult economic and competitive environment, all businesses will benefit from a more highly motivated and better trained workforce. Whether you require off the shelf courses, bespoke training or facilitating workshops, feedback from clients confirms the high regard with which Elygra are held in providing in-tune, simple to follow, training sessions.

Elygra provide affordable training courses that will both motivate and inspire your staff. Our training is industry-specific and is delivered by qualified marketing and catering professionals with over 20 years experience in operational and school meals marketing.

We all know effective sales and up-selling training can have dramatic results when motivated staff return to the workplace eager to implement many of the new ideas they have just learnt. Training can also help to keep staff focused on the need to maximise income and drive up meal numbers as well as positively affecting the perception of the service in the eyes of their customers. Our understanding of school catering and effective training methods means we regularly receive positive feedback for the training courses we deliver.

From sales training to hands-on support dealing with problem kitchens, branding, signage and refurbishments, to marketing / business plans to generate growth, Elygra offer a great deal of experience and fresh ideas to tackle existing problems.

All our frontline staff are professionals in their own field, having worked in the industry for many years, and are available to offer help in areas where you feel we can best complement the skills of your team. We are comfortable either taking a lead or offering support, whichever approach best suits your organisation.

We have a range of courses for you to choose from, ranging from one day bite sized sessions to tailored training programmes run over a series of months.
