Hawksmoor staff
get their teeth
into English!
‘The best steak
restaurant in London’
Communication skills play a major role in
customer satisfaction both in industry and
commerce, but renowned London-based
Hawksmoor restaurant group also realises
the value of good English skills in hospitality.
Members of staff from porters and
bartenders to waiters and Chefs de partie
are all improving their English with CLT.
Hawksmoor called in CLT to design tailored English packages for their
international employees, with group classes ranging from beginners to
advanced level.
Staff from Hawksmoor restaurants in Air Street, Guildhall, Seven Dials
and Spitalfields have all taken part in the popular training programme
and feedback has been very positive:
Will Beckett, Owner: “We noticed that we had people who were being held
back by their lack of English – in and out of work – and it felt unnecessary for
people to struggle over something so fundamental. We thought we could do
something about it and the response from the staff has been great.”
A bright future
For the third year running, CLT have been asked to
arrange language training for bright young students
at the highly acclaimed JCB Academy in Rocester.
Students at the Academy will work towards the ABC Practical Language
Awards, which they have passed every year with flying colours. This
year students will be concentrating on Mandarin with a business focus.
JCB, whose World Headquarters are based in Rocester, is the world’s
third largest construction equipment manufacturer and is well known
for its iconic yellow diggers.

Finally...
As more and more companies turn
to CLT for language training, here
are a few more comments about
our training programmes:
Paris-based English tutor Claire Barre visited
Derbyshire as a guest of CLT in order to
experience for herself the amazing countryside
and hospitality shown to her students at
IT giant Sopra. Claire has been sending her
students to CLT for their intensive English for
Business training courses for several years in
order to boost their language skills.
Claire thanked the CLT team for the wonderful
weekend and said: “A huge thank you for
making me feel so welcome during my delightful
stay in Buxton. The hotel was just lovely and the
countryside must be some of the most spectacular
I have ever seen. I was so happy to have been able
to visit Chatsworth and the Goyt Valley in such
glorious weather.”
Spanish in Madrid - the fun way to learn!
CLT has launched an innovative intensive
Spanish course in Madrid. Delegates
from companies in the UK now have the
opportunity to learn Spanish in Madrid on a
one or two week intensive Spanish course.
Whilst improving Spanish communication skills,
delegates also learn about Spanish culture and
way of life – invaluable if you are doing business
in Spain! Delegates study Spanish on a 1-1 basis
during the mornings, and explore sunny Madrid
in the afternoons, practising their new Spanish
skills in real situations – eating ‘tapas’ or walking
through the Plaza Mayor and Plaza Cibeles.
Delegates from Telefónica in the UK are already
taking advantage of these fantastic courses and
the feedback has been first-class:
“My week was excellent - I thoroughly
enjoyed it. It was hard work speaking and
hearing Spanish all day every day but worth
it and it helped. I feel I have definitely
improved. Angela was fantastic!”
PA, Telefónica Digital
“My French training was a great
experience, my tutor conveyed
enthusiasm and gave me excellent
feedback after each session. I enjoyed
every moment of my training cycle.”
IT Engineer, BES
“Our tutor is enthusiastic, energetic,
understanding, warm, friendly and
attentive to our needs. Learning with
her has been a brilliant experience
and I look forward to each lesson.”
Project Manager, Network Programmes,
Telefónica UK Ltd
“Brilliant Teacher, perfectly pitched and
a good mix of fun exercises and vocab
and grammar. The Spanish course
has increased my confidence speaking
Spanish and was highly enjoyable!”
Lawyer, Nabarro LLP
“‘I am really enjoying my French lessons
and love learning the language.”
Training through
Clients we have been working with:
Marketing Executive, Dolefresh
“‘I couldn’t be happier with the intensive
English training. I was very pleased with
the course and never wanted to leave.”
Want to learn a language but don’t have the
time for regular office-based lessons?
Why not try out our Skype training?
Manager, Bombardier Sweden
You can connect with an experienced, wellqualified tutor throughout the world at a time to
suit you.
“I’m more than happy with my
Spanish lessons, I love them. I think I’m
progressing well because I have such a
good teacher. If only I could have
more hours a week!”
Skype has many advantages – short, focussed
sessions (one hour), held at a time to suit
you (evenings after work are popular for busy
executives) and flexible (you can change the time
of your Skype session from week to week directly
with your tutor).
