Catermasters is an independently managed company specialising in high quality foodservice management. Since 1989 Catermasters have been delivering a superior, specialist catering provision for its clients. Today their professional reputation is second to none. Not only do they cater for many of the UK's top companies; they also operate a unique management structure that ensures a focus on attention to detail.

The Challenge

  • the need to train their staff with minimal impact on the organisation
  • a consistent standard of training right across the organisation which is nation wide
  • a cost effective way of training large numbers of people
  • being able to manage the renewal of the certificates
  • being able to track the learning

The Solution

Catermasters has been using learnpurple's online food hygiene course since 2005.

The Outcomes

  • It's quick and easy to set up.
