Training is the key to independent success
Capitalise on the two major differences between independent fine food retailers and the supermarkets: the best selection of quality cheese and staff who can talk intelligently to customers about them. You can increase cheese sales by as much as 17 per cent, we know many stores that have done just this after attending the Guild's invaluable cheese training course.
You can only achieve this increase with:
* an exciting range of high quality artisan cheeses.
* and professionally trained staff (including you) capable of selling these cheeses.
Do what the supermarkets don't do – train everyone in your store
The United Kingdom Cheese Guild is the only professional, NVQ accredited training programme for everyone involved in cheese retailing.
