On-site training · Staffordshire
Full-day hospitality workshops delivered at your venue in Stoke-on-Trent — leadership, coaching, retention and recruitment for pubs, restaurants, hotels, bars and multi-site groups. Your team doesn’t travel, and the examples come from your operation rather than a generic case study.
The local picture
We shape the day around the market you operate in, not a syllabus written for everywhere at once.
A polycentric city of six towns, so the hospitality estate is spread across Hanley, Newcastle-under-Lyme and Stoke rather than concentrated in one centre, with Trentham and the pottery-visitor trade adding a distinct leisure layer.
Geography. Multi-site operators here run venues that are 20 minutes apart with no shared team culture, and area managers spend their week driving rather than developing anyone. Consistency across sites is the trainable problem.
Most requested in Staffordshire
Any of the full workshop range can be delivered in Stoke-on-Trent, and bespoke days are built where none of the standard sessions fit.
Confidence, communication and the behaviours that make people want to work for a manager rather than merely comply with one.
The difficult conversation, the underperformer, the feedback that lands. The skill most managers are promoted without.
Why people actually leave, what the first 90 days should contain, and the habits that hold a team together.
Hiring for attitude and behaviour, structured interviewing, and how to stop rehiring the same role every quarter.
How a Stoke-on-Trent workshop works
01
The turnover figure, the shift that keeps going wrong, the manager promoted a year too early. Twenty minutes on the phone tells us more than a brief does.
02
Delivered at your venue in Stoke-on-Trent or a site you choose, for 8-16 of your people, using your scenarios rather than borrowed ones.
03
Every session ends with each delegate holding a specific commitment, not a handout. That is the part that survives contact with a busy Friday.

Questions
Anything not covered here, ask — the quickest route is usually a short call rather than an email thread.
Yes. We deliver full-day hospitality workshops on site in Stoke-on-Trent and across Staffordshire, at your venue or a location of your choosing. The same trip normally covers Newcastle-under-Lyme, Crewe, Congleton, Leek and the surrounding area, so multi-site operators can often run consecutive days across nearby venues.
A full-day workshop is £1,495 excluding VAT for the whole group, not per delegate, and that price is the same in Stoke-on-Trent as anywhere else in the UK — travel is included rather than added on. Larger groups, conference sessions and leadership away days are quoted separately.
Geography. Multi-site operators here run venues that are 20 minutes apart with no shared team culture, and area managers spend their week driving rather than developing anyone. Consistency across sites is the trainable problem. That is the pattern we see most often when we work with operators here, and it is the thing the workshops are shaped around rather than a generic syllabus.
Pubs, restaurants, hotels, bars, cafés and multi-site groups — anyone responsible for other people's performance, from general managers and head chefs through to supervisors and emerging leaders. A polycentric city of six towns, so the hospitality estate is spread across Hanley, Newcastle-under-Lyme and Stoke rather than concentrated in one centre, with Trentham and the pottery-visitor trade adding a distinct leisure layer.
Every session is built around your operation rather than delivered off a shelf. We start with a conversation about what is actually happening in the business — the turnover figure, the shift that keeps going wrong, the manager who has been promoted too early — and shape the day around it. Fully bespoke workshops are available where none of the standard days fit.
