The Account Managers
Meet the Account Managers
The account managers work with employers to develop and support their training needs.
We are here to help you grow your employees’ skills with our wide range of courses and qualifications. We can even tailor training to your company in groups, and offer bespoke courses and sessions for your staff and business requirements.
We offer a free apprentice recruitment service to help you find the right apprentice for you. In 2019 we placed over 250 apprentices across Somerset. We also employ our own apprentices, so we understand what it’s like to employ an apprentice.
We pride ourselves in our ability to build long term relationships with local businesses. Some of our partners have been with us for over 10 years! We are always here to help.
