“The first apprentice employed here was Neil Jones in 1999, who is now one of the company’s directors. Since 2009, one, sometimes two apprentices have been taken on per year at Bennett Verby. There is a 100% retention of apprentices for a minimum of 3 years after completion and similarly, a 100% success rate in qualifications. They are then given the opportunity to be entered into our ACCA exam programme for further qualifications.”

The next round of apprenticeships will be offered in June 2017.
