If you’re British, you may not have been to a pub with Greene King writer above the entrance, but chances are still that you’ve been to a Greene King pub.
When The Brewery was first founded in 1799, the name was not so widespread around the country.
It grew via mergers and acquisitions though, being particularly prolific in the 1990s and 200s until it became one of the most influential names among British pub-goers.
It is now the largest managed pub company in the UK and has over 3000 pubs and other hospitality sites.
They have the Greene King brewery in Bury St Edmunds which produces a range of beers named after old breweries which the organisation is keen to remember.
The organisation has established a good name for itself in particular over the last decade or so.
Its Greene King Apprenticeship programme, which kicked off in 2011, has already processed over 9000 apprentices.
People come through this with the potential to go far in a hospitality career.
In 2016, the Get Into Hospitality Programme was also launched by Greene King in partnership with The Prince’s Trust.
It is aimed at helping people who have skill and experience gaps keeping them unemployed to overcome these difficulties and move into a fruitful career.
Once people successfully complete the Get Into Hospitality Programme, they are offered a role onto the Greene King Apprenticeship Programme.
This whole process gives many people with little optimism and few opportunities a rare chance to get on the career ladder and build something for themselves.
To build on top of this still, Greene King launched the Craft Academy in 2017, which is an 18 month brewing venture led by apprentices.
Apprentices can earn whilst learning about design, marketing and brewing when they’re on the programme.
By the end of it, apprentices have gained a Level 3 NVQ Diploma in Sales.
All of this indicates just how much work Greene King puts into nurturing its staff and ensuring that they’re always learning and moving forwards.
By doing this, they know they have a team they can rely on who are equipped with the skills to keep the organisation running smoothly even whilst it operates on such a large level.
