“Our strategic partnership, incorporating Cidori’s industry specific business development skills and Barnet and Southgate College’s educational and occupational expertise, has strengthened our reputation as a national preferred apprenticeship provider. Key to our success has been ensuring our apprenticeship provision is bespoke to individual business needs and supports our apprentices to not only achieve their apprenticeship but excel in their chosen career.”

“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

Lean Manufacturing Apprenticeship
“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.”
