Spicerhaart has made a huge investment in the centre with the aim of continuing its history of developing of top talent.

Antony Lark, Joint CEO said: “We’re excited to have opened our new training centre, which is part of our broader vision to raise the bar in the property industry by investing in the next generation of talent.

We aim to prepare our recruits not just to meet, but to exceed the expectations of our customers.”

“By providing comprehensive training and emphasising a culture of high performance, we aim to prepare our recruits not just to meet, but to exceed the expectations of our customers.

“Our unique facilities will also enable the delegates to hone their in-person and telephone sales skills in a dedicated call-out suite and door knocking room.

“The theoretical and practical skills they learn will help our new team members hit the ground running and have success as soon as they get to the branch.

“We’re now on the lookout for people with a knack for sales and customer service who can fit seamlessly into our teams up and down the country.”

World class

Head of Training & Development Emma Barber said: “This is going to be the epicentre of our learning and development right across Spicerhaart – it’s a world class environment.

“I have always been passionate about seeing individuals grow and the academy combines the environment, people and process to allow people to join us with zero experience and become an elite performer. This is a very proud moment for Spicerhaart and our industry.”
