Glenmorangie is one of Scotland's most renowned whisky producers, known for crafting premium single malt Scotch whiskies. Owned by LVMH, the brand combines traditional distilling expertise with modern production methods.

The Challenge

Glenmorangie needed to boost bottling capacity without capital investment, by upskilling its management team through a more business-focused development programme.

Key Issues Identified

  • Existing SVQ programme was focused on individual learning outcomes, not business performance
  • Operational improvement opportunities present but required structured approach
  • Need to expand capacity sustainably at Alba Campus bottling facility without large-scale capital investment

Our Approach

Refocused SVQ Programme aligned training with business objectives by integrating Libra's improvement modules into the existing framework.

1

Refocused SVQ Programme - Aligned training with business objectives

2
