Employer Testimonial: Hovis
“We set our stall around the training and development of our apprentices and engineers. We train them in engineering while they help us maintain the factory and assist with breakdowns – they pretty much keep the factory running. We take apprentices from fresh faced in Year 1 all the way through to completing their apprenticeship, placing them into shifts and full employment.”
