Managing director Kevin Duffy says, ‘I am extremely proud to welcome this year’s new apprentices. This commitment has continued in spite of being in the middle of one of the worst recessions in recent history and underlines my policy of real investment in people for the future.

Training manager Andrew Shaw explains, ‘The work we carry out is very diverse, and that means our apprentices will experience all kinds of electrical installation work. As well as site-based learning, all our apprentices attend college and complete a recognised City & Guilds qualification.’
