Quite a lot to say about this year! It started slow then got a lot faster! We took on 4 new members of staff, outgrew our office and moved across the business park to bigger premises and despite some pretty challenging conditions we carried on growing. And we became an NCFE centre.

The growth continued and we had more than 500 apprentices on our books, 300 commercial qualifications and 30 staff.
