What others are saying
“I joined Cidori for the opportunity to be part of a growing organisation where I can make a real impact. It gives me the chance to build relationships, shape opportunities with employers, and contribute to something that’s still evolving, which was really important to me.”
Matt Drury
Business Development Manager
“Lean principles lead to elimination of waste & optimisation of processes. Upskilling has streamlined operations, reduced downtime & improved overall efficiencies. Techniques learned help us identify & get rid of needless expenditure, so reductions in inventory, shorter lead times and lower production costs all flow from this. Upskilling equips our team to spot & fix defects early in the process – leading to higher quality outputs & happier customers.”

Lean Manufacturing Apprenticeships
“Morgan Sindall Construction places huge value on partnerships that help create meaningful pathways into our industry. Working with CIDORI has been a standout example of this. Their training programmes, particularly the CSCS card provision, have been instrumental in preparing individuals for real site work and allows us the opportunity to provide local opportunities to local people. CIDORI’s, people-centred approach aligns perfectly with our commitment to social value and inclusive recruitment.”
Norma Odain-Hines
Senior Social Value Manager, Morgan Sindall Construction
“Helping people who need employment to understand the opportunities available to them and achieve new qualifications is massively satisfying. Innovating and improving the customer service experience for prospective learners, employers, college partners and DWP colleagues is a fantastic platform to maximise networking skills with a regular feeling of achievement in the workplace!”
Paul Woolley
Business Development Manager
“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.“

“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.”
