Training our modern Trade Partners is crucial, as they are the first point of contact with consumers when they step into the liquor section at supermarkets. A fortnight ago, we launched our very first Shelf Stockers training program, guiding our off-trade partners through an intensive two-day session. The training focused on: 1. Our Reserve and Premium Journey 2. Understanding category value 3. Learning the art of perfect serves 4. Demonstrating how to make simple, delicious mixed drinks at home. Led by our Modern Trade Key Accounts Manager, Wilfred Wekesa, MBA, alongside Reserve Brand Ambassadors paul Gachoi and Ndoto Babu, the session was a great success. The team left fully empowered and well-equipped to provide exceptional service to our consumers in trade. A big thank you to our Off Trade Channel Manager Robert Shigoli, Innovations Manager Caroline Wanja, and the entire Emerging Channels team for making this initiative a reality. #TradeTraining #Offtrade365Essentials #RetailExcellence #Teamwork
