Their bespoke training academy at their Waterloo showroom provides their sales people with support throughout their career from new joiners to their top sales people.  They provide a structural learning programme supporting them through different stages in their career, along with external product training, and visits to manufacturers/suppliers in the UK and Europe. Their sales and non sales teams, have the opportunity to take up an apprenticeship scheme in partnership with their training providers and are encouraged and supported to complete their programme to gain numerous qualifications. They also offer apprenticeships to young people within their local area, and currently have two apprentices at present and are looking to take on more when suitable vacancies become available. Individual development needs are identified through 1-2-1 meetings.  This can be provided through formal training, mentoring or being a buddy for a new joiner.  They will even support their people if they need an external qualification such as AAT in accounting. C P Hart have a succession plan in place, and will look to see if any of their people are suitable for the vacancy before looking outside of the business, promoting from within wherever possible.
