What others are saying
“Through this apprenticeship, I hope to drive meaningful improvements in how we manage NPD and hopefully encourage other women to embrace opportunities for learning and progressing in industry.”
Lindsy Ellis

Improvement Practitioner Level 4 Apprenticeship – Autoglym
“I’m so glad I took the leap. I would definitely recommend the course to anyone considering a TA role – right now, I’m working as a supply TA, supporting a young boy with cerebral palsy until the summer break. It’s incredibly rewarding, and I’m really starting to settle into the role. It feels good to be doing something meaningful and to see the difference I can make each day.”

“I am incredibly impressed by the impact of our Lean Manufacturing Operative (LMO) apprenticeship programme – seen in the exceptional projects presented by our team members. Their commitment to move out of comfort zones and learn key lean principles, not only translates into immediate process improvements and cost savings, but also positions us strongly for sustained continuous improvements in manufacturing.”
Paul Hankin

Lean Manufacturing Apprenticeship
“So many moments where I have felt my work at Cidori really makes a difference to someone – when people are genuinely thanking me and are so grateful and happy for the opportunity, support or time that I have been able to give them.“
Corinne Edwards
Employment Operations Manager
“Having spent many years across organisations of all sizes, Cidori stands apart. The belief and trust placed in me to drive change and embrace new challenges, whilst at the same time accommodating my work/life balance, has made it a place where I can truly thrive.”
David Murfitt
Head of Corporate Services
“I pursued the Lean Manufacturing apprenticeship to deepen my understanding of how to improve my department and contribute to the overall success of the business. Since completing the apprenticeship, I’ve achieved two promotions: transitioning to Deputy Team Leader of the Fabrication Department and eventually becoming the Fabrication Lead, where I oversee the day-to-day department operations. I would highly recommend this apprenticeship to anyone looking to expand their knowledge and drive improvements in manufacturing.”
