Potato Storage Insight (PSI) is excited to announce that its renowned Potato Store Managers’ Course is now open for bookings for 2025.
Adrian Cunnington at PSI has been leading this annual, certificated course in the UK for nearly three decades. Since 2022, the course has been a part of PSI’s offering to industry and aims to continue to set the standard for excellence in potato storage management.
Event Details
The two-day course will run on 4th and 5th March 2025 and be held at The Greetham Valley Hotel & Conference Centre near Oakham, Rutland. The venue is situated within 2 miles of the A1 trunk road and is close to rail and air links.
Next year’s course will repeat the opportunity for delegates to also sit the exam for the BASIS (Stored Potatoes) qualification, an element successfully introduced to the training in 2024. The online exam will be on 1 April 2025.
Trainers
The training offers a great chance for both new and experienced store managers to enhance their understanding of storage and benefit from the wealth of knowledge shared by Adrian Cunnington and his colleague, Glyn Harper, a respected trainer since 2010. Both were formerly based at the Sutton Bridge research site for many years before its closure in 2021.
Course Structure
The course is designed as a two-day, residential programme, focusing on a relaxed and discussion-based delivery of information. It combines practical, interactive training sessions with networking opportunities, including an informal evening dinner. The format is tailored to maximise delegate engagement and to give all participants in-depth understanding of storage management for their particular sector or specialisation.
Key elements of the course include risk and cost management, vital in today’s commercial potato storage world. There is also extensive coverage of disease threats, sprout control management and the all-important topic of ventilation – crucial for environmental management in all potato stores.
