Training & Key Skills

“Delivering Growth Through Wholesale (DGTW)”is the title for our training and development platform, helping train, educate and drive growth for the sector, wholesalers and suppliers. We seek to share best practice to elevate delivery, offering online, webinar and in person content, signposting accredited training providers and providing member case studies. This advances the SWA vision to be the driving force behind a well-connected, skilled and sustainable, local wholesale food and drink supply chain.

As we develop the DGTW platform, member feedback and involvement are essential in shaping its content, delivery, and overall direction. We welcome your views on what you’d like us to deliver for wholesale, suppliers and the connected supply chain.
