Kevin said, “Apprenticeship programmes are a great way to train new staff and it is very rewarding to see them develop and progress. I would 100% recommend apprenticeships to other businesses.”
The former Bury Church of England High School pupil said of his apprenticeship experience, “It was great that I could learn and earn at the same time. I really wanted to learn on the job rather than in the classroom.”
