SOFHT - Best Trainer 2011

Holchem Training and Courses for 2012

Congratulations to Peter Littleton winner of the SOFHT annual award for Best Trainer of the Year 2011. In support of the application, by Holchem, to SOFHT nominating Peter for the award we sought referrals from the food industry. The response was overwhelming and consistent in praise for Peter as a highly motivated and enthusiastic individual whose informal but informative style engaged delegates. Words used to describe Peter and his style included; excellent, relevant, concise, engaging, informative and fun.

Peter Littleton has worked for Holchem in the position of Technical Services Manager for over eleven years with his primary role being that of customer support and horizon scanning. To this end the Holchem technical team embarked on an allergen management program in 2005 with allergen awareness training and this has led to the development of the UK’s first nationally accredited allergen management qualification as well as heavy involvement with industry, enforcement and special interest groups, such as the Anaphylaxis Campaign.

A key thread throughout Peter’s career has been the development of training and awareness programs for all levels of hygiene and technical operations in the food industry which has culminated in the very successful Professional Hygiene Management qualification which is the first nationally accredited course of its type. Further development of this concept has led to the creation of a follow-on course accredited as a Level IV qualification and being offered for the first time in 2009. Latterly, Peter has been instrumental in the development of nationally accredited e-learning awards for food operatives.
