Back in August, the Sign Trade Supplies team swapped their aluminium profiles and fixings for aprons and BBQ tongs as we headed to Kent Cookery School for a well-earned team development day.
The focus of the day was simple: learn how to BBQ like a pro and enjoy some great food together.
We kicked things off with introductions from the chefs, who guided us through everything from knife skills to marinades. Before long, the kitchen was buzzing with activity. Some of us were prepping vegetables, others tackling the meat, and a few perfecting sauces — everyone had their part to play.
As the grills fired up, the real fun began. Between the smoky flavours and sizzling sounds, there was plenty of banter, a fair amount of friendly competition, and more than a few laughs. By the end, the counters were lined with an impressive spread of dishes that looked as good as they tasted.
The best moment? Sitting down together to enjoy the feast we’d created as a team. After a busy few months, it was the perfect way to relax, recharge, and celebrate the people who make Sign Trade Supplies what it is.
We’ve put together a short video from the day that captures the highlights — from the prepping and cooking to the final presentation. It’s safe to say we won’t be opening a restaurant anytime soon, but we did leave with a few new BBQ tricks up our sleeves!
