A local business owner has said that applications for their often sought after apprenticeship scheme have been surprisingly low this year.
David Boyle, 30, who is the managing director of iFire UK, has said that they are normally inundated with hundreds of applications each August but that so far, they have only received two applications from aspiring apprentices.
David says that he left school himself at age 15 with no qualifications and says that he is now the managing director of three companies turning over seven figure sums. He says that he is looking to offer an opportunity to young applicants who are looking to kickstart a career under the stewardship of his experienced engineers.
