Jeanette Henderson, Financial Director
Gus Robinson Developments Ltd
“An apprenticeship provides real life experiences and allows you to acquire skills not found in a classroom.

From an employer’s perspective apprenticeships are a great investment, resulting in home grown talent and provide a succession-planning solution.”
