Lancashire based hospitality staffing company, GetStaffedUK, has recently formed The Get Group of companies, as well as launching a sister company, GetTrainedUK, with the aim of raising the quality of staff training within the hospitality sector.
GetStaffedUK is on a mission to eradicate the lack of skilled labour within the hospitality industry. Removing traditional training and industry barriers, whilst delivering transferable skills and opportunities to employees.
Operating from a Preston base for nearly two years, the company has gone from strength to strength, with a number of high profile client wins, and the continuous growth of the business has attracted experienced hospitality sector investors. 2018 is already proving to be a successful year, with clear goals and objectives to move the company further along its growth journey.
GetStaffedUK is no stranger to the training world. In the last six months, they’ve trained over 1000 members of their team; putting them through an in-house innovative training programme, aimed at delivering consistency of quality service. The programme has been a huge success, ensuring clients receive a flexible and trained workforce, to support their operations. It is the success of this programme that has prompted the GetStaffedUK management team to formally diversify their operations and form GetTrainedUK.
GetTrainedUK will deliver accredited and recognised qualifications, building on the existing in-house programme, to over 2500 employees over the course of 2018. This high-quality training, for such a large number of people, is a massive boost for the local hospitality sector and region as a whole.
In addition to training large numbers of hospitality workers, GetStaffedUK will also place them into the workplace, providing a massive economic benefit and solidifying the success of The Get Group’s business model.
Tom Havlin, Founder and Director of The Get Group commented: “Acknowledging the correlation between well trained staff and high levels of service, we’ve decided to expand and refine their offering, and build on existing successful practices. For us, training is vital.
“Using our innovative and accredited training, we are building a community that connects a trained and flexible workforce with employers. The Get Group looks to revitalise the industry, given employees transparency and opportunities they have never previously had. I believe our exponential growth has very much been down to the training we provide.”
Tom Craig, Operations Manager added: “We have a growing client base and can now offer both a flexible, trained staffing solution, as well as the opportunity for them to enrol their staff on the training programs, this will result in an increase in quality of their in-house team and removing any previous training costs they may have had.
“The ability to not only train large numbers of hospitality workers, but then place them directly into the workplace is a massive advantage for the newly formed group, and a much needed boost for the regional economy. By diversifying our offering and creating GetTrainedUK, The Get Group can provide highly trained and able staff, in previously unknown quantities.”
