Abstract
The Access Group has announced its acquisition of CPL Learning, ‘the UK’s leading learning and development partner’ for the hospitality and retail sectors.

CPL Learning will be incorporated into The Access Group’s sector specific hospitality division, which partners with more than 1,500 customers in the UK to deliver cost savings, improve productivity and give them the freedom to focus on guest experiences.

Henry Seddon, managing director of Access Hospitality, said: “The importance of well trained and motivated employees will be crucial for post pandemic recovery and subsequent business growth as they are the face and service of exceptional hospitality experiences.

“With uncertainty remaining about staff availability, potential skill gaps and measures to restrict operational freedom, ongoing training and development is essential for businesses to thrive as well as supporting recruitment and retention through provision of a clearly defined career path.”

Jamie Campbell, director of learning – hospitality, of CPL Learning will join Access Hospitality to support the integration of resources across the two businesses and a seamless transition for customers. 

Campbell added: “We are looking forward to CPL Learning continuing this journey with Access and becoming bigger, brighter, and better.

“Each of our customers will be able to take advantage of a far-reaching suite of best-in-class solutions, delivered from a single supplier, through Access Workspace and we are excited that CPL Learning will now be an integral part of such an effective technology portfolio.”
