We spoke to Kelly Weatherson, SHEQ & HR Manager

of Global Substation Solutions, on why it was they wanted to hire an apprentice.

"In the last few years, GSS has nearly doubled in size. We wanted to enable a local apprentice to join the organisation in admin team to help support the whole Company across all departments", said Kelly.

"We are hoping that at the end of the process we will have a new administrator with knowledge over all the different departments."

Global Substation Solutions are taking advantage of the £4,000 grant we are offering to companies to hire an apprentice; why aren't you?
