What others are saying

“What has been achieved through the Lean Manufacturing apprenticeship reflects not only the drive and skills of our team members, but also the benefits available when we engage in lean and waste elimination projects. I am very excited as we continue to work with the team to foster a culture of waste elimination and efficiency. Thank you to everyone involved.”

Paul Hankin

Head of Manufacturing – Altro

“I have learned so many new skills through this course, but most importantly it gave me the confidence to believe in myself and recognise the value of the skills I already had. I never thought I would be able to achieve something like this because I didn’t have any qualifications, but within three months of completing the course I secured a Teaching Assistant role. I am now back in work, have a career I enjoy, and a better routine and future for both me and my son. It really is one of the best things I have ever done.”

“This Lean Manufacturing apprenticeship equips our teams with the composite skills and understanding needed to improve the very processes they work with every day, unlocking both personal growth and operational improvement.“

Pirelli

“This apprenticeship delivered an interactive and professional programme that produced a cohort group of 13 distinctions at Level 2 – a truly magnificent result for every single person involved. By focusing on upskilling our team members around lean manufacturing, we are not only investing in their professional development but also enhancing the efficiencies and effectiveness of our manufacturing processes.”

Jason Cairns

Production Manager, Pirelli

Lean Manufacturing Apprenticeship

“I applied for the Lean Manufacturing programme to excel in knowledge of the business and implement skills I’ve learned from the course across different areas of the factory. I’ve enjoyed communicating with other colleagues and learning about their standard working procedures and the struggles they face day to day. This programme has given me the confidence to apply for a Deputy Frontline Leader role within my department in which I would look to further help the company reduce waste and increase efficiency.”

“What we do at Cidori works – yes we’re a business and there’s a financial angle to our existence of course, but seeing lives both externally & internally change for the better is hugely satisfying – I will be forever grateful for the opportunity and personal growth that has come from working within Cidori and the wider ESHL Group.”
