“We’re good at retaining talent, however, we often struggle to find candidates with the necessary skills and experience we are looking for. Having worked with apprentices over many years we have realised that ‘growing our own’, through the apprentice system is the way forward to ensure that we have the skills in place to meet future challenges and guarantee our ongoing success”
