"Apprentices bring enthusiasm, willingness, drive for success, and a new way of looking at things. They challenge people who have been here a long time, asking ‘why do we do it like this? Why don’t we do it this way?’
"The qualifications are fully covered by the levy. don’t think apprenticeships would be affordable without it, being a significant investment from both parties.
"I’m looking at taking on three or four new candidates on the course next year. We desire a rolling programme of this type of candidate coming through to us, as the apprenticeship scheme has been brilliant for us here."
