Abstract
HIT Training, provider of apprenticeships in the hospitality sector, has been named in The Sunday Times’ ‘Top 100 Best Companies to Work For’.

The company offers work-based apprenticeships for employers and employees who operate in the hospitality sector. 

HIT Training was announced as number 17 and it is the fourth time the company has made the list (2014, 2015 and 2018). Seventy-seven percent of HIT Training employees responded to the survey, which asked people about what the company was like to work for. 

The results found 93% of HIT Training’s workforce agreed the organisation is run on strong values and 89% of employees felt their experience gained through HIT Training will be valuable for their future development. 

Jill Whittaker, managing director at HIT Training, said: “To feature in the 'Sunday Times Top 100 Best Companies to Work For' for a fourth time is just incredible and as a team, we couldn’t be prouder. 

“This honour just goes to show the determination and passion of every single member of the HIT Training team. All 500 employees work as one and are driven to help hospitality employers and learners achieve or, in many cases, surpass their career or business goals. 

“We work to a core set of values at HIT Training and we’re pleased to have built a team that not only shares and appreciates those values, but also shares our commitment to making a real change for the people and businesses we work with.”

HIT Training published research suggesting that attitudes amongst parents and teachers were changing towards a career in the hospitality industry. 

Rik Razza, head of chef development at BaxterStorey, added: “There is a shortage of skilled chefs within our industry at present and any organisation that truly believes in the value of training and development of bright future stars will enable themselves to be in a string position for the years ahead.

“Investing in smart training and development is at the heart of what we do within WSH, so it has been refreshing to work alongside HIT with our BaxterStorey Chef Academy.”
