Magnet Kitchens
The Challenge
Prior to engaging National Compliance Training, Magnet Trade managed their MHE training internally, which led to several operational inefficiencies:
- Inconsistent training standards across their 200+ locations
- Difficulty tracking certification expiry dates and compliance status
- Significant administrative burden on local management
- Logistical challenges coordinating training across remote locations, including offshore territories
- High costs associated with individual training sessions at each location
- Operational disruption when staff required training
Our Solution
National Compliance Training implemented a comprehensive, nationwide MHE training programme that transformed Magnet Trade’s approach:
- Centralised Training Management System: Created a single point of contact for all MHE training requirements across the organisation
- Strategic Training Clusters: Grouped stores geographically to deliver training more efficiently
- Compliance Tracking: Implemented a robust system to monitor certification status and proactively schedule renewals
- British Isles Coverage: Extended training provision to include remote locations such as Guernsey and the Isle of Man
- Customised Scheduling: Coordinated training sessions to minimise impact on store operations
- Standardised Certification: Ensured consistent quality and documentation across all locations
"The transition from our internal training programme to National Compliance Training has been transformative for our business. They've taken complete ownership of our MHE training needs across all 200+ locations, delivering substantial cost savings while improving our compliance position. Their ability to coordinate training across our entire network, including our offshore locations, has eliminated a significant administrative headache for our store managers. The clustering approach to training delivery has been particularly effective in reducing costs without compromising on quality."
The Results
Significant Cost Reduction: By strategically clustering training sessions geographically, we reduced trainer travel time and expenses, passing these savings directly to Magnet Trade. This approach delivered an estimated annual saving of 30% compared to their previous internal training costs.
100% Compliance Achievement: Our centralised tracking system eliminated expired certifications, ensuring all operators across every location maintained valid qualifications at all times.
45% Reduction in Administrative Burden: Store managers were freed from the responsibility of arranging and tracking MHE training, allowing them to focus on core business activities.
Minimal Store Disruption: By coordinating training across multiple locations, we minimised the impact on any individual store’s operations while maximising the efficiency of trainer time.
Complete Geographical Coverage: Our nationwide trainer network successfully delivered consistent training standards across all UK mainland stores and extended to offshore locations in the British Isles.
Ongoing Partnership
Building on the success of the initial implementation, our partnership with Magnet Trade continues to evolve:
- Quarterly compliance reviews with senior management
- Continuous refinement of the clustering model to further enhance efficiency
- Development of customised training materials specific to Magnet Trade operations
