Running a business in the licensed trade has never been tougher.
Rising costs. Tight margins. Constant pressure to deliver great service while still making a profit.
That’s why looking after the customers you already have has never been more important. Every interaction your team has with a guest is an opportunity to create a great experience and when it’s done well, it can naturally increase spend too.

The best hospitality teams don’t “sell” in a pushy way. They simply deliver brilliant service and recognise the moments where a recommendation can enhance the guest experience.
With training budgets tighter than ever, I’ve created a new practical course:
Sales Through Service
A focused programme designed to help teams:
• deliver outstanding guest experiences
• recognise natural sales opportunities
• increase revenue through great service, not pressure

Because when service is done well, everyone wins: the guest, the team, and the business.

If you’d like to explore bringing Sales Through Service to your team, feel free to drop me a message or email:

👟 Leave shoes on after a fall or injury.

Removing shoes after a suspected ankle, leg or hip injury can sometimes cause more pain or movement admn even cause more damage.

The shoe is acting like a splint so leave it in place until medical help arrives.

If you want to brush up your first aid skills for home or in the work get in touch to book.

Have a great and safe weekend

I love this graphic showing why we need to press hard when doing compressions in CPR (depth of 5-6 cm) .....and why the number of beats per minute make a difference to how much oxygen your brain gets!

Tuesday Top Tip
Remember you don't need fancy first aid kits (in fact some are full of things you don't need) and there are many things you can use from around your home.
Frozen Peas make a great icepack / Cold Compress perfect for bulbs, sprains etc
Just remember the Golden rule with any icepacks NEVER put directly on the skin always wrap in a cloth first
I love and sell these cute ice packs with covers so you don't forget to wrap it before it touches the skin!
Did you find this useful was it new or a great reminder? We'd love to know?
Have a great and safe day
Jo

In a world of quick online courses and tick-box compliance, it’s easy to assume personal licence holder training is all the same.

But licensing law isn’t just theory, it’s how the law applies to your specific premises, your staff, and the real situations you face every day.
That’s where in-person training makes the difference.

Face-to-face learning creates space to:

• Explore real-life scenarios from licensed venues
• Understand how legislation applies to your exact environment
• Ask questions in the moment and build genuine confidence
• Move beyond simply passing an exam to truly understanding responsibility

Holding a personal licence isn’t just about certification.
It’s about protecting customers, supporting staff, and safeguarding your business.

Practical, relevant, and tailored learning will always go further than a screen.

For info on my courses in Fife, Edinburgh and Glasgow or to book me to come to your venue to deliver the training

I always talk on my first aid courses how regular reading of the book, checking out posts on (reliable / accurate) social media etc is great for keeping your knowledge in your head for when you need it.
I love this app created by The British Heart Foundation so you can test that your rate and depth of compressions remains accurate!
Why not check it our for yourself and see how you do

Asthma is on the rise in Scotland and recent figures show it’s now at its highest level in years.

But here’s the part that really matters
On first aid courses I find that 3 out of 4 people give the wrong first aid of what to do during an asthma attack.

That’s worrying, because asthma kills (2-3 deaths per week in Scotland), and knowing the right steps can save a life.

Get their inhaler the reactionary one is usually Blue.
No inhaler or inhaler not working call 999

If you had it wrong or you weren't 100% sure , you’re not alone and that’s exactly why awareness and training matter more than ever.
Let’s make sure confidence keeps pace with the growing numbers.

January isn’t about forcing new beginnings, that’s why so many resolutions fade by February.It’s a month for nurture: rest, reflection, and gently organising your mind and space.
