  9. Sports teams have great trainers who coach their team to play well in attack, mid field and defence. Players play well as individuals, as part of the team and they cover for each other when needed. This is not an introduction to the England World Cup team…

  10. Saint-Gobain has the breadth of brands and the skills to support the UK training opportunity The brands provide the application skills. Saint-Gobain supports their ability to play as a team The Saint-Gobain UK Advisory Panel is of the opinion that Saint-Gobain has the breadth of businesses to train for the Industry – a potential USP

  13. However... • The Academies could be utilised further • Additional use of Saint-Gobain Technical Academies by brands not based at each location • We are not geographically mobile • Except: British Gypsum use training rigs and Greenworks are adding mobile units to their facility • Q - Will we attract customers to the Saint-Gobain Technical Academies when the Industry is busier? • Could we understand our customers better • Course requirements • Length of course • Geography

  14. Plus... Recent research by a Saint-Gobain project group, indicated that the best training is undertaken when the activity is central to brand strategy e.g. Marshalls and Worcester Bosch How do we ensure that this is the case at Saint-Gobain?
