Apprenticeships: Developing Skills, Careers, and a Stronger Workforce
Investing in talent is at the heart of building a successful business. That’s why apprenticeships are a key part of our people‑development strategy. Today, 25% of our workforce is either currently completing an apprenticeship or has already completed one, demonstrating our long‑term commitment to learning, growth, and opportunity.
Why Apprenticeships Are Important
Hands‑On Training That Builds Real Skills
Apprenticeships give people the chance to learn by doing, gaining practical skills while contributing to real projects. This hands‑on approach ensures our teams stay current, confident, and equipped for a fast‑changing industry.
Clear Pathways for Career Progression
Whether someone is just starting out or looking to upskill, apprenticeships offer structured development with recognised qualifications. They create meaningful opportunities for career growth across a wide range of roles.
A Stronger, More Innovative Workforce
Apprentices bring fresh ideas, curiosity, and new perspectives. By investing in apprenticeship programmes, we strengthen our workforce and encourage continuous innovation across our organisation.
Supporting a Diverse and Inclusive Workplace
Apprenticeships open the door to individuals from all backgrounds. By offering accessible development pathways, we create a workplace that reflects our communities and values diversity, collaboration, and inclusion.
Our Commitment
With a quarter of our team having experienced an apprenticeship, we’re proud of the positive impact these programmes have made on our people and our organisation. As we grow, we’ll continue expanding these opportunities to help more individuals build rewarding careers.
Apprenticeships aren’t just training — they’re a powerful pathway to unlocking potential and shaping the future.

Key Changes & Recommendations For Fire Alarm Signalling Compliance
In the United Kingdom, the latest update to fire alarm signalling and system compliance has now come into force via the revised standard BS 5839 1:2025. The revision replaced the 2017 edition. This update includes significant changes around alarm transmission times, system design, documentation, maintenance, and overall signalling performance, meaning organisations responsible for fire safety need to act swiftly.
Monitored Alarms Gain Ground As Businesses A Seek Faster Verified Security Response
Alarm monitoring works by linking an intruder alarm to a remote Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC). When the system is activated, trained operators are alerted immediately and can take action, such as contacting keyholders, verifying the alarm and, where appropriate, notifying the police.
Multi-Discipline Engineers Reshape The Fire & Security Sector
The fire and security engineering sector is undergoing a quiet but significant shift, as employers increasingly favour multi-discipline engineers over single-discipline specialists to manage the growing complexity of modern building systems.
