Our Year 1 and Year 2 Business Management and Sustainability students took an exciting trip to Thatchers Cider in Sandford. This trip helped students to build understanding of the operations management used by Thatchers. The trip offered a unique opportunity to gain insights into the operational management of the business, with a particular focus on its long-term sustainability initiatives.
During the visit, students took part in an extensive site tour, where they learned about Thatchers commitment to automation and innovation, as well as their efforts in social sustainability. This includes retraining initiatives aimed at fostering strong relationships within the local community.
The experience directly supported students’ studies in modules including Sustainable Venture Creation and Sustainable Business Case Development, providing practical examples to enhance their learning and strengthen their final assessments.
