IT was a pleasure to go down to HTS at their headquarters on Thursday morning.

We met a number of their apprentices. Their courses range from plumbing to accountancy.

The one thing they all have in common is that they are very focussed, very professional and very engaged.

We were also joined by non-executive director, Bob Davis, who has nothing but praise for them but if you look at our interviews, we think the apprentices speak for themselves.
