Annual Celebrate Chesterfield event to update town on Vicar Lane transformation

The latest developments at Chesterfield’s Vicar Lane Shopping Centre will be unveiled at the annual Celebrate Chesterfield event on Wednesday 20 March 2019 by the centre’s new owner ALTERIS.

Bert Broadhead, Director at ALTERIS is one of the confirmed speakers at the event which is being held at the Winding Wheel.

The town’s shopping centre, which attracts more than three million visitors every year, is set to be transformed and revitalised following its recent sale to property fund ALTERIS.

Huw Bowen, Chief Executive of the Chesterfield Borough Council, will also be speaking at the event, which is expected to attract nearly 300 delegates. Mr Bowen will be updating on the progress the town is making with multi-million pound commercial and residential developments, including Northern Gateway, which recently got the go-ahead for construction to begin on a new enterprise centre.

Celebrate Chesterfield, now in its ninth year and organised by Destination Chesterfield, is one of the biggest and most hotly anticipated business events in the area.

Peter Swallow, Chair of Destination Chesterfield said: “It’s been a great start to the year for Chesterfield and we’ve got some exciting things ahead. The recent announcement of the transformation of Vicar Lane is just one of the things we are going to be talking about at the event, as well as the town’s other major developments, including Chesterfield Waterside and Northern Gateway.”

“Celebrate Chesterfield is a great opportunity for the town’s business community to come together, not only to celebrate the town’s success, but to look forward to future plans. We have a lot to look forward to in 2019 and we are eager to share our plans with the town at the Winding Wheel.”

The University of Derby is this year’s headline sponsor with Central Technology and Markham Vale – Derbyshire’s flagship regeneration scheme, as associate sponsors.

Julie Stone – Associate Pro Vice Chancellor External Affairs, University of Derby, said: “We are delighted to be working with Destination Chesterfield and supporting the Celebrate Chesterfield event again this year.”

“As Derbyshire’s only university we look to use our academic expertise, research and innovation to foster talent and create impactful partnerships with businesses. The Celebrate Chesterfield event provides a great opportunity for us to have valuable conversations that enable us to understand more about the challenges local businesses face. Our priority remains to understand and effectively service the needs of businesses and to create opportunities for individuals, employers and communities to develop and flourish.”

Ian Snow, Managing Director at Central Technology, added: “Supporting Destination Chesterfield is of huge importance to us at Central Technology. Having been established and working in Chesterfield with year on year growth for over 16 years, we seek to employ local talent and work with mid-market organisations that require IT support and critical data and security protection. 2019 is a big year for Central Technology. We have recently moved to a new 11,000 sq ft office to accommodate our growth and provide more opportunities for jobs in the area.”

“With a key focus on staff training and development, we now have dedicated training facilities and test labs for technical learning time. By attracting excellent technicians and developing our local apprenticeship scheme, we will be able to continue to provide the excellent service our customers expect. The event is a great opportunity for us to meet and work with like-minded mid-market organisations that are keen to grow business in Chesterfield and make it a great location to both work and live.”

Henry Boot Developments (HBD), development partner for the Markham Vale site, will also be attending the event. Vivienne Clements, Director at HBD Sheffield, added: “We are now in our tenth year of development at Derbyshire’s flagship regeneration scheme, Markham Vale, and our partnership with Derbyshire County Council has brought about continued economic growth to the Chesterfield area and beyond.

“2018 saw us maintain 1,600 jobs at Markham Vale, along with securing 164,500sq ft of new commercial space for three global businesses: Protec International, Sterigenics and Grangers International. Our goals for 2019 are to continue to attract both local, national and international companies to the scheme.”

“Business development and employment creation within this region has always been a key focus for the partnership and we are set to achieve another successful year. The Celebrate Chesterfield event is a chance for us to develop our business relationships in the local area and explore exciting opportunities with those looking for high-quality, purpose-built premises.”

Local apprentices set to meet MP at the House of Commons

Five employees from independent drinks company and Chesterfield Champion Global Brands will join circa 200 apprentices who are set to impress their local MP’s in the 3rd annual Hospitality Apprenticeship Showcase during National Apprenticeship Week  (4th – 8th March).

Oliva Harbor, Hannah Batty, Lauren Greaves, Barrie Sly and Liam Baker will meet MP Mr Toby Perkins (below) at the House of Commons on Wednesday 6th March 2019 to talk about their career development and have a bit of fun in challenging their MP to participate in a number of interactive challenges, from pulling the perfect pint to climbing the career ladder.

The team work across sales, marketing and communications within hospitality based business, a sector that offers a huge range of careers, supports 2.9m jobs, represents 10% of UK employment, 6% of businesses and 5% of GDP.

Hospitality is the third largest private sector employer and double the size of financial services and bigger than automotive, pharmaceuticals and aerospace combined.

Global Brands was founded by Steve Perez (right) in 1997 and has grown to an international business selling drinks in more than 55 countries around the world. Steve comments: “The world of hospitality, and drinks in particular, is so fast-paced. You need to be able to stay ahead of what people want and keep innovating. Being in the thick of the action is a great starting point for understanding this. It helps people learn first-hand about the sector and what’s needed to succeed. Apprenticeships are invaluable in this sense. They provide people with a solid grounding to grow and create their own opportunities. As we continue to grow as a company, our aspiration is for our apprentices to grow with us and fuel innovative ways of thinking, creating and working.”

Chairman of the Perceptions hospitality industry group (involved with organising the event), and CEO of the multi-award winning Beds & Bars business Keith Knowles said: “Showcasing our industry to government and demonstrating that we have opportunities that range from the kitchen to the bar; from brewing to casual dining, from hostels to hotels as well as those in professional business support roles such as marketing, property and finance; highlight the many diverse roles the industry can offer. This is an industry where it is not unusual to start at grass roots on minimum wage and progress to senior management positions. For young people, career progression in this sector can be rapid, with many progressing to a management role within 3 years.”

The event takes place on Wednesday 6th March within the House of Commons, with Ministers and over 80 MPs from across the country currently signed up to meet local apprentices, including representatives from the All Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) for Youth Employment; APPG for Skills and Employment; APP Beer Group; APPG for Apprentices; APPG for Pubs; APPG for Tourism and Leisure planned to meet the apprentices and young learners.

The sector creates 1 in 8 of all new jobs and given the right economic circumstances the sector is forecast to continue to grow.

Green light for Chesterfield’s Enterprise Centre

The transformation of Chesterfield town centre has taken another significant step forward as plans for a new enterprise centre have been given the go ahead.

The proposals, developed by Whittam Cox Architects on behalf of Chesterfield Borough Council, will see the new centre built on part of the site of Holywell Cross car park and form a vital part of the Northern Gateway.

The new centre will help meet demand for office space to house start up and growing small business and support the council’s existing innovation centres at Dunston and Tapton Park.

When complete, the three-storey building will comprise 32 offices to suit a range of start-up and small companies; two meeting rooms; a reception and shared lobby area; facilities for staff working in the building including kitchenettes, break out spaces, showers and a bicycle store.

Andrew Dabbs, Board Director at Whittam Cox Architects commented, “We are delighted that the Northern Gateway Enterprise Centre will soon be breaking ground bringing a contemporary commercial offer to Chesterfield. This development is a great example of how a forward-thinking Local Authority can take hold of its own direction and positively influence change and investment in our town centres. I have no doubt this development will act as a catalyst for further development and opportunities for the town.”

Councillor Terry Gilby, Chesterfield Borough Council’s Cabinet Member for Economic Growth, said: “These plans are a vital piece of the jigsaw in the Northern Gateway scheme and we know from the enquiries we get from start-up businesses how much this type of office space is needed in a town centre location.”

Works are due to start next month and will take a year to complete.

Local businesses looking for space at the new enterprise centre should contact Chesterfield Borough Council’s economic development team by calling (01246) 345255.

The Northern Gateway project is funded by a Sheffield City Region Infrastructure Fund grant of £5.83 million with Chesterfield Borough Council contributing £6.5 million.

Same day craft beer delivery service launched in Chesterfield

Chesterfield Craft now provides same day delivery of great craft beer to Chesterfield and the surrounding areas, including Eckington, Staveley, Dronfield and Holmesfield – a service previously unavailable in the region.

Craft beer fans in the wider Chesterfield area can now have a range of great craft beer delivered direct to their door in the evening. The town centre’s new craft beer shop – Chesterfield Craft, located on Saltergate – provides customers with a same day delivery service of its entire range of craft beer.

Stocking beers from local brewers such as Thornbridge, Buxton and Abbeydale, national craft brewers such as Magic Rock, Cloudwater and Loka Polly and from overseas brewers such as To-Ol, Lervig and Basqueland Brewing Project, Chesterfield Craft looks to provide a real alternative for the people of Chesterfield.

Customers can order their beer via Chesterfield Craft’s website, and orders placed before 4:30pm are eligible for same-day delivery. Orders will be delivered directly to customers after the shop closes each evening.

Owner Richard Young said “The big online beer shops deliver in the daytime when their customers are out at work, usually resulting in a trip to the courier’s depot to collect. We deliver in the evening, when our customers are at home. This allows customers who can’t get to our shop, to still enjoy our great range of craft beer.”

This same-day delivery service is believed to be something completely new to Chesterfield and the surrounding area. Chesterfield Craft believe it is a service not offered by any other craft beer retailer – neither a local retailer or a national retailer can provide same day delivery.

Richard Young added “We will even chill our customer’s beers, so they arrive cold and ready to drink!”

‘Low skilled’ image damaging care sector’s ability to recruit young people, says national care provider

A major care provider group has spoken out against referring to care workers as ‘low skilled’ saying it is damaging the sector’s ability to attract young people.

Speaking at the Chesterfield and North Derbyshire Employability and Skills Conference, Brendan Kelly, Managing Director of Heathcotes Group said: “It annoys me that care workers are constantly referred to by the government and media as being ‘low skilled’. They are not.”

“Care workers require a wide range of skills, including medical knowledge, finance and budgeting, dynamic risk assessment, positive behaviour support and food hygiene to name just a few. Calling them low skilled is impacting on recruitment in the sector and turning off school leavers from entering the profession.”

The company, which is headquartered in Chesterfield, has plans in place to double employees from 2200 to 4500 over the next four years.

At the conference, which was organised by Chesterfield Borough Council, Placing Futures, D2N2 Enterprise Advisor Network and Destination Chesterfield, Mr Kelly also revealed that the Apprentice Levy had driven a culture change in apprenticeships within Heathcotes Group.

He explained: “We are using the Levy as a tool to develop the workforce rather than viewing it as a tax. Older workers are using apprenticeships to upskill which is enabling us to plug skills gaps. However, our priority remains to recruit young people to the care sector.”

Young people aged under 19 account for only a quarter of all apprenticeship starts in the UK. With more than 14,000 young people in Chesterfield and North Derbyshire alone set to leave school over the next five years, the conference brought together business leaders and representatives from the education sector to address barriers to apprenticeships.

Heathcotes Group is leading the residential care sector in apprenticeship training. It has partnered with national apprenticeship training provider Learning Unlimited Group to jointly introduce sector-based work academies offering short courses, including Health & Social Care qualifications and employability skills.

The partnership has produced some exceptional results for Heathcotes with an 82 per cent increase in apprenticeship starts between 2013/14 and 2017/18. Heathcotes’ achievement rates are also well above national average: 74 per cent for Health & Social Care roles, compared to 66.9 per cent nationally, and 68.8 per cent for Care Leadership & Management compared to 63.8 per cent nationally. In Business & Administration Heathcotes’ rate is 100% compared to a 71 per cent national average.

Commenting on the company’s strategy to attract young people to the sector, Mr Kelly said: “In recent years we have promoted an accessible and inspirational message, based on the fact that our work is enormously fulfilling because it makes a difference to the lives of some of the most vulnerable people in society. It has certainly proved to be more effective than more traditional and formulaic approaches to recruitment.”

“Attracting the next generation of talented and dedicated care professionals requires us to connect and engage on an emotional level, rather than get preoccupied with technical detail and lose the essence of who we are and what we do.”

Since 2013, the Heathcotes Group has recruited nearly 600 apprentices. In an effort to further increase local apprenticeship participation, Heathcotes Group has recently joined Chesterfield Apprenticeship Ambassador Network, which is part of the Apprentice town initiative.

In 2017 Chesterfield became the first town in the UK to declare itself an ‘Apprentice Town’. Led by Chesterfield Borough Council the Apprentice Town initiative aims to raise awareness of apprenticeships and promote cooperative working across the education, business and learning community.

Councillor Tricia Gilby, Chesterfield Borough Council’s leader, said: “Heathcotes is a great of example of the success of the Apprentice Town initiative. By working together, the council, local businesses and education providers are able to manage the future workforce needs and provide development opportunities for local people.”

“This year’s conference has helped to do just that, by bringing together our business and education communities to challenge misconceptions and provide opportunity for more people to understand and take advantage of the breath of career development opportunities available in the sector.”

Mr Kelly added: “Heathcotes is fully committed to supporting the Apprentice Town initiative to develop Chesterfield as a leading apprenticeship destination. We enjoyed being part of the North Derbyshire Employability and Skills Conference and we are looking forward to leading and participating in various other events in 2019.”

‘Ditch the jargon if you want to attract apprentices’ business are told at Skills and Employability Conference

‘Ditch the jargon if you want to attract school leavers to apply for apprenticeships’ – that was the advice to businesses from education leaders.

The message was delivered at the annual Chesterfield and North Derbyshire Employability and Skills Conference where it was revealed that young people aged under 19 accounted for only a quarter of all apprenticeship starts in the UK.

With more than 14,000 young people in Chesterfield and North Derbyshire set to leave school over the next five years, the conference looked to address the barriers to apprenticeships. It brought together business leaders and representatives from the education sector as well as pupils from years 11 – 13 from schools in the region.

Speaking at the conference, Dr Emma Dando (right), Careers Lead at St Mary’s Catholic School in Chesterfield, said: “The simple fact is that it is easier to make a college and university application. Many 15 – 18-year-olds are put off applying for apprenticeships because they don’t understand the terminology that many companies use in their job adverts. They feel intimated.”

She advised that employers could learn from politicians when writing job adverts for apprenticeship vacancies. “Persuasive language is key,” added Dr Dando. “Young people are keen to know about progression routes, how formal learning fits into the job role and what a typical day will look like.”

Dr Dando also advised employers to consider including information about the catering facilities in the workplace, public transport links, parking and the environment they’ll be working in within job adverts.

“These are all important factors for a young person who has very little or no experience of a workplace environment. Failure to include this information in job adverts could put them off applying.”

Organised by Chesterfield Borough Council, Gail Widerman of Placing Futures, D2N2 Enterprise Advisor Network and Destination Chesterfield, almost 100 people attended the annual conference which was held at Ringwood Hall Hotel & Spa on Wednesday 13 February.

In addition to St Mary’s Catholic High School, speakers at the sell-out event included representatives from Capgemini, Brookfield School and Brendan Kelly, Managing Director of Heathcotes Group.

Speaking at the event Mr Kelly credited the introduction of the Apprentice Levy with helping the business nearly double apprentice starts over the last five years. Since 2013 the Heathcotes Group has recruited 568 apprentices.

He commented: “Attracting the next generation of talented and dedicated care professionals requires us to connect and engage on an emotional level, rather than get preoccupied with technical detail and lose the essence of who we are and what we do.”

“In recent years we have promoted an accessible and inspirational message, based on the fact that our work is enormously fulfilling because it makes a difference to the lives of some of the most vulnerable people in society. It has certainly proved to be more effective than more traditional and formulaic approaches to recruitment.”

“Based on our experience in recruitment and apprenticeships, the young workforce is less concerned with specifics – they respond better to a broader perception of employers that support their career progression, invest in their future and celebrate the value of the work they do.”

Supporting businesses in their apprentice recruitment efforts, in 2018 Chesterfield became the first town in the UK to declare itself an ‘Apprentice Town’.

Led by Chesterfield Borough Council, the Apprentice Town initiative aims to raise awareness of apprenticeships and promote cooperative working across the education, business and learning community.

Councillor Tricia Gilby, Chesterfield Borough Council’s leader, said: “One of the council’s top priorities is improving the quality of life for local people and ensuring our residents have good employment and training opportunities is key to that.”

“This is why we worked with our partners to establish Chesterfield as an Apprentice Town in 2017.”

“This year’s conference has brought together partners from local businesses and education providers and, working together, we will continue to provide new opportunities to develop our future workforce.”

Morrisons is searching for local foodmakers

Morrisons continues its search for a new wave of local foodmakers to provide locally produced food to its customers.

‘The Nation’s Local Foodmakers’ campaign will see Morrisons aim to recruit new suppliers from across England, Scotland and Wales. The campaign has already seen 153 local suppliers working with Morrisons since it started in 2017.

Morrisons has a priority of sourcing more local food and is keen to reduce the distance that food travels. The Local Foodmaker search will result in more customers being able to buy more food in a British supermarket that was grown, made, picked or packaged around 35 miles of their local store.

The new search will help Morrisons offer more local, British produce to customers. A 2018 report by DEFRA states that 60% of shoppers agree that they try to buy British food whenever they can, and 76% agree it is important to support British farmers.

Suppliers are being invited to apply to work with Morrisons via their website here.

Selected applicants will be invited to an event in their region where they will be able to showcase their food to customers and Morrisons staff, including Morrisons buyers, who will choose which products will take their place in Morrisons supermarkets. Applicants can apply at any time, and do not have to attend an event.

The Local Foodmaker search will be coming to Chesterfield on Thursday 20th June 2019.

Morrisons will also be working with local food groups and food hubs, using their knowledge and expertise to source and select the best suppliers in their area.

Family owned Murdoch Allan bakery is only seven miles from Morrisons Peterhead store. After attending a Local Foodmaker event, Murdoch Allan is now working with Morrisons.  Morrisons Peterhead store has a full promotional bay of their bakery products, along with Point of Sale.  The bakery’s known and loved product, Butteries, are in a further four Morrisons stores in Aberdeenshire.

Murdoch Allan’s Pie branch, Thaines Bakery, who supply the pies for the Aberdeen football ground, are also now sold in Morrisons Peterhead store. They have since sold around 200,000 packs of pies from the store in less than a year.

Andy Atkinson, Group Customer and Marketing Director at Morrisons, said: “Our customers tell us they like to support local businesses and want to be able to put local products in their shopping trolleys. We have listened and are looking for the next wave of British and local foodmakers to work with.”

Morrisons is in a unique position to support British foodmakers because as well as operating 494 supermarkets, Morrisons is the UK’s largest fresh food maker.

Growth in Peak FM listener figures

The latest listener figures show that Chesterfield’s local radio station, Peak FM, is again the most listened-to commercial station in North Derbyshire.

The station is celebrating another huge jump in audience figures, adding a staggering 46% to its listening hours and 35% more listeners in the last year – that means more people listening to Peak FM and for a longer period of time. Peak FM has been the most listened to commercial station in the area for several years but in the last twelve months the growth suddenly rocketed.

85,000 people now tune into the station every week, there are 818,000 listening hours and the market share is ahead of Radio One.

Tim Smith is the Content Controller at Peak FM, and looks after the sound of the station: “We’ve been improving our music mix and asking what you think in surveys so we can get it just right. We’ve been out and about more than ever in the last year with massive stage performances all over North Derbyshire, our Breakfast Show with Ricky and Becky has been to schools, worked with charities like the Sick Children’s Trust and met thousands of people in person. We’re over the moon!”

The station’s Managing Director Sam Fielding said: “We’re absolutely delighted with our latest set of audience numbers – our third consecutive rise in a row. Our local advertisers are also recognising the positive impact radio and specifically Peak FM can have for their business, particularly in an uncertain financial climate.”
