The company has had a long standing relationship with Leek College of Further Education for many years, sending our apprentices for ‘ off the job’ training in engineering.

Mr Adrian Leek (Managing Director) was a governor of the college for many years has now retired from this position but still has a keen interest in the performance of apprentices. Recently several employees were given the opportunity to improve their computer and I. T. skills by taking the CLAIT course.
