Quarterly Round-Up No.2 and with Summer’s here we’re turning up the heat!
Phew, June came in HOT and we’re not just talking about the weather.
From local connections to action figures to apprenticeships, this quarter’s been packed tighter than a suitcase before a last-minute holiday.
Let’s start with a sizzle: our CEO and Head of Commercial visited
Study Academy in Birmingham, meeting with their CEO, John Loveday, alongside the talented Study Academy team.
Study Academy is highly regarded for their e-learning courses, accredited online courses, apprenticeships, and bespoke training solutions. We’re excited to explore how a partnership could help deliver impactful training and drive growth together.
Meanwhile, back at HQ, we joined the global craze and immortalised the team by turning ourselves into action figures.
Because why not be legends in both real life and plastic?

Commercial Training
We also waved a fond farewell to the 2025 Foundation Academy Mandarin cohort from Edgewell Personal Care.
Thank you to our wonderful Mandarin Facilitator Linda Xiong.
What a journey—thank you for the memories, and best of luck with what’s next!
We love seeing our learners embrace feedback as a powerful tool for growth and development. An Impactful Feedback virtual training session back in May saw the participants explore how thoughtful, well-timed feedback can transform relationships and workplace culture.
The feedback (pun intended) on our Impactful Feedback Programme
continued with
75%
of our Edgewell LATAM participants
saying they now feel more prepared to give meaningful feedback.
Apprenticeship Training
We WELCOMED new Operations Managers, Senior Leaders, Business Admin, Team Leaders & HR support apprentices
Over Easter (aka “indulge in as much chocolate as you can week”), we delivered Change Management training across Operation Managers from Caffè Nero, Coffee #1, and Harris & Hoole.
Who says you can’t manage change while managing a sugar high?
Community Training
The end of May marked the close of our impactful Black Country Futures project. Over two years, we empowered individuals and saw 66% of participants leave feeling more confident and motivated.
That’s not just impact—that’s transformation.
The project, delivered by Julie Taylor, and funded by The National Lottery Community Fund and led by Steps To Work, brought together specialist delivery partners to support local people aged 16+ across the Black Country.
The goal? To help individuals overcome barriers, build confidence, and move closer to employment, education, and long-term economic stability.
This is just the tip on the iceberg!

Celebrations!
Let’s not forget our Caffè Nero case studies, showcasing how the Level 5 Operations Manager apprenticeship turned challenges into triumphs.
This is the kind of learner impact that reminds us why we do what we do.

And speaking of shining stars…congrats to the Cobra Coffee Store Manager of the Year!
A double high-five, as the winner is also a current learner on our Store Manager Training Programme.
Proof that growth and recognition go hand in hand.

& In Other News
Of course, not all announcements were cause for celebration. Government updates on Level 7 apprenticeships were a little less sunshine and rainbows. So, it’s game on: we’re working hard to get those sign-ups sorted before the end of 2025.
There is plenty of time (if you run!) to sign-up to our Level 7 Senior Leader apprenticeship.
On a brighter note, we earned the Matrix Standards for continuous improvement for the second year running!
Quality is in our DNA—and now it’s on our certificates, too.
We also launched our first LinkedIn newsletter—so if you haven’t yet, go hit that follow button. You won’t want to miss the next one.
Awareness Days
April brought with it a burst of energy, literally!
As part of On Your Feet Britain and Active April, we took our Teams meeting on the move, walking and talking to keep those endorphins flowing and the creativity sparking.

Throughout the quarter, we’ve shouted loudly (and proudly) for key awareness events including:
- Stress Awareness
- Deaf Awareness
- Mental Health Week
- Alzheimer’s Awareness
- Men’s Health
- Cervical Cancer Week
- World Wellbeing
Because wellbeing isn’t a buzzword…ITS A PRIORITY!
And with that… we’re taking a moment to sit down, grab an iced coffee (or three), and enjoy the sunshine.
Thanks to every learner, partner, and teammate who made this quarter so full of momentum.
Here’s to a summer of progress, passion, and maybe even a holiday.
