What others are saying
“Jonathan was a pleasure to teach – enthusiastic & eager to learn. His commitment
was evident across classroom activities and all course work and targets were met. I am
confident that Jonathan’s skills and abilities would be an asset to any organisation and
delighted he has secured a job.”

“HRC are delighted to be working in partnership with Cidori. Construction is a priority sector for the UK economy, and we believe that this new partnership will help individuals move into a range of locally based, sustainable employment opportunities.“
Katrina Dougherty
Vice Principal Enterprise, and Innovation, Hertford Regional College
“After a lot of hard work, I went into my apprenticeship end point assessment and came away with a distinction. With the confidence and new skills gained from achieving this, I decided to apply for a front line leader role at Pirelli and was successful. I believe part of that success was down to the Lean Manufacturing programme.”
Jordan Irving
Front Line Leader
Pirelli Carlisle
“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.”
Andrea Ridgely
Group Finance & HR Director
“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.”
Dan Thompson
Fabrication Lead

“My Learning Portal has so many advantages: Snapshot of group progress, learner sees all their work in one place & progress via own dashboard, workbooks links sent to group in one click and standardised workbooks & improvement suggestions easily facilitated. It means the tutor has immediate access to learner work and the efficiencies give tutor time to focus on learner support & formative/summative assessment, rather than administration. Many learners remark on improvement in their own IT skills. MLP has transformed our delivery and the learner experience, taking it to the next level!”
