North Tower Consulting

Diversity is key to ensuring a progressive workplace and bringing in apprentices fosters a collaborative workplace between a range of workers from different backgrounds. We have also found apprenticeships a great way of upskilling our employees, especially when we are identifying ways for employees to transition into a leadership role.

Elijah Willow

We have several roles for apprentices within our organisation, primarily Bricklayers and Carpenters. By training people up with skills, right from the start of their trade career, Elijah Willow can help mould them to the high standard and quality we expect, and in turn they become part of the exciting growth with our business.

Dan Ponting, Director

Gloucester Services Farmshop & Kitchen

The benefit of having our own apprenticeship scheme here in the business is it allows us to home-grow our own chefs, which sometimes we've struggled to recruit. We have a great relationship with Gloucestershire College. A tutor provides the theory side of the apprenticeship for us, we provide the practical side and we're finding it's working really well.
