Apprenticeship Central Returns
Apprenticeship Central Returns
Apprenticeship Central is relaunching and returning to the body shop world, delivering tailor made solutions for UK body-shops.
Under the stewardship of Bob and Morag, Apprenticeship Central delivered unique, bespoke services to solve UK body-shop’s recruitment and retention needs.
After a short pause Apprenticeship Central will now return and be led by Director, Eleanor Baker-Barnes.
Eleanor commented; “I am delighted to be heading-up the new look Apprenticeship Central. Bob and Morag set the benchmark for recruitment and retention of apprentices. I have spoken to body-shops across the UK and seen the value their work added to body-shop businesses. I am extremely excited about building on that legacy”.
The operations will continue to be manned by the team of Mandy and Jake whose experience in looking after a full range of different body-shops, from small owner driven shops to large national groups is without parallel. Morag will also continue in her HR role, helping young people and their managers, and body-shop owners navigate through the modern HR maze.
In a nod to the past, Eleanor has enticed Chris Oliver from his previously dormant state to assist and support Apprenticeship Central. Having started the apprentice band wagon rolling, with Bob, in creating AutoRaise, Eleanor knew he was a natural choice support and advise her through this exciting new era.
Chris observed; “Having begun this journey over a decade ago I am over the moon to be invited back by Eleanor and her team. Not to say a little surprised too. Thankfully, we all now know the value of apprentices. Many of us are aware that the work Bob did was immeasurable. It is privilege to continue that work. The responsibility for continuing that legacy does not escape me either”.
The new Apprentice Central team will be heading to the biggest industry event of the year, The ABP Night of Knights Awards, and are looking forward to catching up with current and new clients alike.
