Employer Case Studies

Gary Cullen, Manager,  Tecaz Ltd

FSC have provided excellent ongoing training and a good service. I have found that the staff have been a very good asset. Future Strategies are professional in their subject.

Bruno Coppola, General Manager, Cramlington Management Centre, Manor Walks Shopping Centre

The Apprentice we recruited from Future Strategies has made an immediate impact, allowing an increase in productivity and has received positive feedback from tenants. FSC have been professional, advisory and supportive to ensure the correct candidate for the role is selected. Recruiting an apprentice is an integral development strategy that companies should include in their HR strategy.

Ged Crolley, Practice Manager,  Specsavers

Specsavers used FSC apprentice recruitment services to find the right employees for their needs. I have found the service from FSC to be excellent, very supportive and professional throughout. I would recommend Future Strategies to another employer as it is an opportunity to evaluate candidates for further opportunities. Also, it gives individuals the opportunity to demonstrate their skills and gain work experience.

Steven Coates, Director, Autosounds

Autosounds, based in Newcastle, have 30 years’ experience in mobile electronics. We went to FSC when we recognised that we needed to employ an apprentice. Our Apprentice has been with us now for over 3 months and has come a long way in this time.  There are so many products within our industry sector and this makes it very difficult for new employees to get to grips with everything. Coupled with that, it’s very important to be able to communicate with customers on a variety of levels, again something that takes time to learn and to adapt to.

Our Apprentice has done exceptionally well in terms of customer care, sales and becoming part of the Autosound’s team.  The training that FSC has provided along the way seems to have helped our apprentice become an asset to our company and we wish him every success with us for the future.

Nicky Roddham, Manager, New Way Recruitment

New Way Recruitment is a group of highly skilled and talented consultants who have accumulated over 30 years recruitment experience working for National and Independent agencies. We used FSC’s apprentice recruitment service to find the right apprentice for our needs. The service from FSC has been second to none. The FSC recruitment service is fantastic and the recruiter found exactly what we were looking for and found the right person for the role. FSC have been in constant contact to make sure everything is going OK. I am very impressed with the service and I will definitely be using FSC again. I would definitely recommend any employer taking on an apprentice as you can train them exactly the way you want them to work, rather than joining a new company with bad habits.

Colin Grant, Diamond IT Solutions Ltd

Diamond IT are providers of IT support and consultancy across the North East. Due to expansion we found ourselves in need of additional technicians. We turned to FSC’s apprenticeship scheme to provide a young person with the right qualities to join our team. FSC searched for on our behalf, and found, the ideal candidate. The benefits to Diamond IT of employing an apprentice through the apprenticeship scheme are many but specifically low cost recruitment, our ability to mould our apprentice to our requirements but also employ a young person with IT training.

Phil Harwood, Fleet Manager, Bernhard Schulte (UK) Ltd

Bernhard Schulte Ship management is a global leader in quality ship management and one of the largest 3^rd Party Ship management companies in the world with offices in 25 countries managing over 700 ships and employing in excess of 17000 people ashore and in the fleet. FSCs apprentice scheme has given us the opportunity to assess well trained, highly motivated individuals in an office environment at minimal cost or risk to the company allowing us to select the individual most suited to our needs and our team. This model of provision has provided us with a cost effective asset and valued team member.

Marise Moat, Lettings Manager, Secret Key Estate Agents

Our office is extremely busy and it was difficult to find the right person to hit the ground running, we needed someone with confidence and ‘get up and go’ attitude. Together working with FSC, we couldn’t have found a more suited trainee.

Constant support was available from the FSC team, but due to the standard of the candidate this was a minimal requirement. I can happily delegate tasks with complete confidence and we were happy to offer a permanent position with us after the trial period. They now are progressing on to their advanced Level 3 apprenticeship in Business Administration.
