Telford Transport Solutions Ltd

As a transport company, one of our key challenges is attracting, developing and retaining skilled employees in a highly competitive and fast-paced industry. We require a workforce that is not only technically competent but also understands compliance, safety standards, customer service and operational efficiency. 

Using an apprenticeship training provider helps address these challenges by enabling us to build a sustainable talent pipeline and develop employees with the specific skills required within the transport sector. A strong training provider can support us with structured learning programmes, industry-relevant qualifications and ongoing development that aligns with both operational needs and regulatory requirements. Additionally, due to the operational demands of the business, we need flexible and responsive training delivery that minimises disruption while ensuring apprentices remain engaged and progress effectively.

We chose AM Training (formerly known as AGL Training) due to our long-standing working relationship with the organisation, as well as their ability to provide prompt and effective support whenever we have recruitment or apprenticeship requirements.

We have developed a strong working relationship with AM Training. Our main point of contact is Marie, with additional support provided by Aaron during his apprenticeship review visits.

As a business, we are passionate about supporting young people as they begin their careers, and working with an apprenticeship training provider enables us to help develop and nurture young talent within the workplace.

Using an apprenticeship training provider has had a very positive impact on our business. It has enabled us to recruit and develop young talent, helping to build a skilled and motivated workforce for the future. 

Apprentices bring enthusiasm and a willingness to learn, and with the support of the training provider, they are able to develop both the practical skills and industry knowledge required within the transport sector.

The support and guidance provided throughout the apprenticeship programme has also helped us improve employee development and retention, while ensuring apprentices receive structured training and regular progress reviews. 

Overall, the partnership has added real value to the business by supporting workforce development and creating opportunities for young people to begin and progress in their careers.
