Rob Smith, NG Bailey group HR director, said:

“For almost 90 years, our apprenticeship programme has been at the heart of NG Bailey and the foundation upon which so many careers have been built. 

“As we look to the future, it’s great to see the inclusion of IT services apprenticeships in our well-established programme portfolio.

“These new additions will further enhance our technical abilities and provide even greater launchpads for careers in our sector and industry at large. We wish them every success in their apprenticeship journey with us.”

NG Bailey has a long history of providing successful apprenticeships, having welcomed almost 6,000 apprentices since 1934. Many of the company’s apprentices have won national and industry awards and progressed into senior management positions.

The latest intake of apprentices have successfully completed their induction at the Queens Hotel in Leeds, where they undertook a variety of workshops and tasks and had the opportunity to learn from former apprentices, hear guest speakers from senior management team members, presentations from NG Bailey family members and meet their Apprenticeship Development Partners.
