Scottish Sea Farms said 86 employees have completed its management training programme since its launch 18 months ago, including 63 current line managers and 23 employees identified as potential future leaders.

The programme, developed in partnership with AAB People, is designed to strengthen leadership and people-management skills across the business. Participants from different departments and regions attend two two-day training sessions held one month apart.

According to the company, all employees with management responsibilities are expected to complete the course, while staff identified through succession planning processes are also encouraged to participate.

Scottish Sea Farms HR Business Partner Emma Leyden said the programme was introduced to address the leadership skills required when employees move into management roles.

The company said the training focuses on team development, communication and leadership effectiveness, with participants encouraged to reflect on their management styles and approaches.

The initiative forms part of Scottish Sea Farms’ wider employee development and succession planning efforts.
