About Us
Headed by Richard Mercer Skill*Smart provides training for food industry personnel.
Richard has been involved in the food industry since leaving school at 16 where he first joined Macfisheries in Sale Cheshire. In those days you became well acquainted with a brush and shovel because thats the only piece of equipment a young lad straight from school was allowed to handle.
Thankfully things have now improved and most school leavers have some idea about business and industry and are now also put through an induction process during their first months in work, its just that we know better now how to introduce people to the job and organisation and this means training them, but really it shouldn't stop there.
In another 20 years we will have learned, and continuous training will be the norm.
Working with national and multinational companies
We have successfully supplied and implemented a range of specialist training programmes throughout fresh food areas within retail and food manufacture in specialist areas of Fish, Meat, Deli, Produce, Bakery and Food Service.
All our training associates are time served professionals who also have the qualifications to support and mentor their candidates through each of the courses.
Our trainers often use a hands on approach and aspire to train using the knowledge, skill and understanding developed from their experience gained within the industry.
