What others are saying
“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.”

“You genuinely get the support you need to get back into work and my experience proves it!”

“Before working with Cidori we faced the challenge of finding reliable workers – now we have an influx of new recruits with CSCS cards who are keen for work. Level of candidate preparation & motivation is very good. Cidori are very easy to work with and responsive. I would recommend sponsoring this to other employers – we have multiple clients in other areas who would benefit from this programme.”
Neil Williamson
Principal Consultant – Sphere Solutions
“My college tutor Santa was amazing – I’d been to sixth form & college but had never received support like this – help with mock interview, updating CV and developing transferable skills. This led me to getting a job at my first interview at a local SEND school. I would definitely recommend this course to others – you genuinely get the support you need to get back into work and my experience proves it!”

“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

“It’s highly encouraging to see the main objectives of the programme have been successfully achieved and embraced by the entire team. We are excited to see how their newly developed skills continue to drive positive outcomes across the organisation.”
