CQM Training & Consultancy Ltd

CQM Training & Consultancy Ltd has a proven track record of supporting food and drink manufacturing organisations across the UK to develop their people, strengthen performance and build capability at every level, from operational teams through to senior leadership.

Our approach is holistic and consultative. We work closely with each organisation to understand its priorities, challenges and existing capability before recommending the most appropriate route forward. This may involve a focused commercial training programme, a wider programme of consultancy and development, or a funded apprenticeship that enables learning to be applied over a longer period within the workplace.

These routes are not treated as separate or competing solutions. They can be used individually or brought together as part of a broader workforce development strategy, with programmes tailored and accredited where appropriate to reflect an organisation’s processes, terminology, operational environment and strategic goals.

We also have a wide range of accessible open programmes, ideal for smaller numbers, and therefore especially suited to SME’s, bringing together these learners with delegates from larger organisations and across the wider supply chain.

Our expertise is particularly strong in Continuous Improvement, Lean Six Sigma and leadership development within the food and drink industry. We help organisations equip their people with the practical skills, confidence and structure needed to improve processes, reduce waste, strengthen quality, lead change and deliver measurable business results.

Our offering includes:

• Funded apprenticeships that develop operational, improvement, technical and leadership capability across different roles and levels
• Commercial training and consultancy, including accredited Lean Six Sigma and leadership programmes, practical Continuous Improvement training and bespoke organisational development
• Specialist and compliance training, including Food Safety, HACCP, VACCP, TACCP and IOSH programmes

Whatever the starting point, we work in partnership with our clients to create an approach that reflects their organisation and supports lasting improvement. The focus is not simply on completing training, but on helping people apply what they learn, develop as leaders and contribute more effectively to business performance, creating a culture of continuous improvement.

CQM Training & Consultancy Ltd is part of the wider Instructus Group, a UK-registered educational charity with the aim of developing people and transforming lives.
