Employment, Skills & Training

Behind every exquisitely tailored Savile Row suit, every expertly distilled Scottish whisky, every stay in a five-star hotel and every luxury automobile are the people who brought them to life, often involving skills that have been honed in the UK over decades and a network of artisans, specialist suppliers and producers.

Employment in our sector can include a wide range of roles from design, artificial intelligence (AI) and finance to bartending, handweaving and glassblowing. Highly skills-oriented, the industry invests heavily in training and equipping its employees to deliver outstanding products and experiences, while also focusing on building a more diverse and inclusive workforce.
