MorePeople and Tesco announce the launch an innovative training scheme designed to bring suppliers closer to customers. This ground breaking new training scheme is aimed at helping suppliers develop and retain the highest calibre of people. Initially being offered to Tesco’s produce and horticulture suppliers, the programme is a variation on our generic leadership programme with added extras such as a Tesco ‘Twist’ day and an increased emphasis on the retail supply chain and customer service.

Commenting on the motivation behind the initiative, Peter Durose, Tesco’s Category Director for Produce said, “Our suppliers go to great lengths on behalf of Tesco and our customers and we are always keen to support anything that can help the two get closer. In order to deliver products and services which continue to meet our customers expectations we need to work in partnership to create a world class supply base, with companies run by world class leaders, inspiring world class teams. We recognise that all of us will only continue to prosper if we continually invest in our people – and that means throughout the supply chain.”

MorePeople Director Guy Moreton commented that “In order to retain the best people companies need to pay serious attention to their development. Financial incentives will only take you so far - the best quality people are looking beyond headline figures at their long term career prospects and we have worked hard with Tesco over the last 3 years to develop a programme which offers a practical, hands on business approach to learning for an industry sector which we know appreciates good value and pragmatism.”
