Over the past 4 years, we have offered school and college leavers Apprenticeships within sales, marketing (social media), customer service, accounts and warehousing, ranging from 12 months up to 18 months. At present, a third of our current workforce are in an Apprenticeship or have completed one!
How do Apprentices benefit your business?
