Following on from National Apprenticeship Week we thought we’d introduce Kyle, he’s one of our Apprentices at Abbey & Lyndon
Kyle combines learning at Heart of Worcestershire College in Redditch with on-site experience, so he can develop an equal mix of technical and practical skills.
He’s a great addition to the team and we thought it would be good to get to know him a little more and have asked him the following questions:-
