Cake would like to extend a warm welcome to Daniel Aston, our new training manager!

Identifying areas where individuals can increase their potential, personal performance and continuously develop themselves.
“I believe that every employee should have the ability to learn whatever skills they require to do their job in the best and safest way possible. Our staff are our most valuable assets, empowering them to perform at their highest potential and have the confidence to do so helps enable the company as a whole to be the best it can be.”

It’s at Cake’s Drury Training Centre where the full scope of Daniel’s skillset comes on display. Here, Daniel leads the Cake team through a range of practical training exercises which help our team to perform at the highest level. Currently the Training Centre is used to train Cake’s own personnel exclusively, however, there are ambitions to widen our scope and open the Centre for external use, strengthening the overall expertise of the industry.
