We are delighted to announce that Tony Allen is joining Umbrella Training as a Non-Executive Director - Excellence Committee (Governance).

Tony is well-known within the education and industry sectors, with considerable knowledge and expertise in how apprenticeships can benefit employers, as well as a passion for all things hospitality.

Apprentices from across the UK’s hospitality industry were celebrated last night at the prestigious Purple Umbrella Awards held at BAFTA 195, the British Academy of Film and Television in London.

Apprenticeships are crucial in the battle with Hospitality's staffing crisis. Find out why, and how to get funding for them in today's episode.

CEO and founder of award-winning Hospitality & professional training & apprenticeship provider Umbrella Training Ltd, Adele Catherine Oxberry FIH MIoD joins me & my co-host Sarah Kettel to talk about her journey into Hospitality and how she is on a mission to fix the industry!

Adele Oxberry, CEO of Umbrella Training, talks with Phil Street on his latest podcast about her story and enthusiasm for hospitality, from starting young to the lessons of housekeeping, developing leadership skills, juggling motherhood to heading up one of the sector’s most prominent training and apprenticeship providers.

Hospitality apprenticeship provider Umbrella Training has appointed Acorn Award winner Jenni Clarke to the role of commercial director.

Clarke previously held the role of head of curriculum and learning technologies. She has been with the company since June 2022, working within its commercial arm and leading the development of its programme offering and curriculum.

When you meet people with the same ambitions as you, then events like yesterday's (19th April 2023) Skills and Education Groups launch of their 21/22 impact report become so meaningful.

CEO of Umbrella Training, Adele Oxberry, was asked her thoughts on the Hospitality T Level, agreeing that the choice was too narrow.

"In general, we are supportive of the principle of T Levels, but would like to see hospitality T Level in additional to catering."

Umbrella Training’s apprenticeship success stories are to be showcased as part of the Government’s Career Starter Apprenticeships campaign thanks to the work of UKHospitality.

Umbrella Training has partnered with social business and charity The Forward Trust to launch the industry’s first formal apprenticeship pathway for ex-offenders.

Young people do not find the hospitality industry to be an attractive career choice because they don’t think the sector pays well, according to a nationwide survey commissioned by Umbrella Training.
