Image of Advanced Training Course for staff

Photograph by Brian Shuel which is part of a roll (SA/IMA/4/SO/41/1-17) showing staff on one of the Advanced Training Courses. The photo was used in 'JS Journal' (staff magazine) November 1968 page 7 as part of an article on changes in training.

JS Journal explains it shows: "A group of trainees from Mr. Lewis's area on one of the Advanced Training Courses at Blackfriars [Sainsbury's former head office complex in London]. These have been started recently and take the form of six one-day seminars held once a week. Subjects in broad terms cover JS [Sainsbury's] trading policy, the distribution system, personnel policy, work study at the branches and other topics of a non-commodity nature. In the picture Mr. A. E. Leach is answering questions in discussion following his lecture".
