Businesses in Middlesbrough are already seeing the benefits of upskilling their staff. R C Ayres, a construction business which provides building and roofing services, took advantage of the SSW training offer.
Courses are delivered by local training providers, including Evolution Training and Consultancy Services.
Not only has the training helped their staff to maintain R C Ayres’ excellent reputation by delivering work at a high standard, but their qualifications also give their clients confidence in the quality of the company’s staff, so enquiries and workload continue to be consistent.
