Stonegate Group’s biggest Accelerator cohort to date graduates
General and area managers provide a consistent line of support throughout the process, which often sees deputy managers promoted to manage their own venues
Stonegate Group’s leadership development scheme, Accelerator, has revealed that this year’s graduating cohort is the biggest to date at a total of 70 hospitality professionals from across the group’s pub and bar concepts.
Structured around three in-depth workshops, the programme focuses on developing individuals within operations as leaders with their own management-style and personal goals.
General and area managers also provide a consistent line of support and encouragement throughout the process, which often sees deputy managers promoted to manage their own venues on completion.
Accelerator’s mentors come from various pub and hospitality companies. They bring with them a host of coaching skills and industry-based expertise, not to mention first-hand experience of progression within Stonegate’s businesses.
Tim Painter, HR director of Stonegate Group, said: “Accelerator is unparalleled in the industry as it really looks at the individual and what unique attributes and talents they bring to a team.”
Janne Sedgwick, success coach at Stonegate Group, added: “Having a person-centred ethos is the key to our success with this scheme. The group get to know each other well, and along with their mentors, gain a sense of being part of a supportive, professional family.”
