Hull construction and maintenance firm, KWL, has recruited a record number of apprentices.
A total of 13 more school leavers have joined what is now a 41-strong team on the books. This year’s cohort were invited along with their families to an annual celebration at Hull’s Guildhall, where tool kits were presented by the Deputy Lord Mayor, Kalvin Neal.
KWL increased its intake through the pandemic, with 34 apprentices now having been enrolled in the past three years. They now make up eight per cent of the workforce, with a benchmark of 2.5 per cent - and slighly lower for those in the public sector.
