Professional Polishing Services on the search for their next apprentice

A leading Midlands surface finish company is keen to expand the number of apprentices it employs. Professional Polishing Services Ltd has a long history of employing apprentices and many stay with the company to become senior operators including Darren Icke, who started with the firm in 1994 and who has been a senior operator for many years. The firm currently has two apprentices based at their Smethwick operation; Dan Hunt who is studying for his NVQ in Warehousing with SEMTA and Kirsty Wilkinson who is studying her NVQ with Sandwell College in Business Administration. The company sees apprentices as an invaluable resource. Kirsty Davies-Chinnock, firm's managing director, said: "There is a lot of negative press where young people are concerned and we are keen to show the positive side. The young people we interact with show themselves to be hard working and ambitious; they are looking for long term careers and we are proud to support them in their endeavors."
