The Bakers Food Allied Workers Union (BFAWU) Learning Services team recently celebrated the opening of a new Learning Centre at PCL Hatfield.

Last December the team held the official opening of the Learning Centre at PCL, Hatfield, a warehousing and logistics specialist working primarily in the food sector.

The launch event was well attended by the company, the BFAWU and the Learning Services as BFAWU Learning Services Project Manager, Lisa Greenfield, explained:

We had the official cutting of the ribbon at the Learning Centre, performed by Ronnie Draper, our General Secretary, who said it was great to see the learning moving forward with PCL.”

Everyone then had a look around the centre and discussed the courses we would run and how the centre can be used as a Union office for the reps on site and also a quiet study room as the computers are all internet enabled.”

As well as Lisa and Ronnie attendees included Julie Oakley from the Learning Services, Lukasz Bemka from BFAWU and from the company John McNamara, National General Manager of Operations, Paul Winter, Business Development Manager and Lauren Hindley, HR Manager and her team.

The group followed the ribbon cutting ceremony by moving to the boardroom for lunch and discuss ways the unions could work with the employer around the learning agenda.

The BFAWU are now looking forward to the start of the English courses in early January and already have had interest shown with the on-line level 2 courses with Learning Curve.
