We are excited to announce the launch of the Compass Group Academy

We are excited to announce the launch of the Compass Group Academy, a multi-million pound investment designed to develop much needed skills in the hospitality industry with a focus on supporting young people from disadvantaged areas build careers in the sector.

The state of the art physical and online hub will be based in the West Midlands and is due to open in 2023. It will train people in a range of disciplines, including hospitality, culinary and services, amid talent shortages across the industry.

To ensure the goal of improving social mobility in the UK is achieved, former Chief Executive of The Clink Charity, Christopher Moore FIH, FRSPH has been appointed Managing Director of the Compass Group Academy.

Chris commented: "I can’t wait to get started and deliver the new Compass Academy. I have seen first-hand the power that training and upskilling brings to people – it has the ability to change people’s lives."
