“We have for a long time respected the work and contribution the BPIF make within our industry, recruiting high calibre and highly motivated staff is on ongoing challenge, we are very proud of our team and the ongoing contribution they make to the success of our business, as we continue to grow we need to recruit and expand the knowledge and expertise within our team, we also need to further develop not only our apprenticeship programme but the training and development of all our new recruits.
