Case Study: Everards Brewery Ltd
Everards Brewery's company philosophy aims to make beneficial contributions to
the communities in which it trades, and to provide caring, rewarding and
enjoyable employment for its staff.
Based on this philosophy, the Brewery has been working in partnership with its
local community college - Riverside Community College – to identify areas of
need for the College and its students, and in doing so it has provided the
Brewery's employees with new learning and development opportunities.
Everards' contributes to the College via funding but also significantly through
its employees time. It has been involved in a number of projects including:
- supporting staff in school Governors roles
- providing its surveyor team to help upgrade the College's main hall
- providing employee time supporting the Young Enterprise Scheme
- arranging student visits to the brewery as part of their applied business and
enterprise curriculum
- the provision of 'computerised babies' in order to educate students about
teenage parenthood.
Everards will also be supporting the College as it bids to become a specialist
school for business and enterprise.
