Apprentices help firm's turnover to soar: £50k to £3million in just one year

Ebsford Environmental saw their annual turnover of £50,000 in the first year grow to £3 million.

The firm’s Managing Director, Nick Hartley, believes that the success of the business, which has a 100% retention rate, is down to their apprenticeship offering.

Their commitment to apprenticeships ensures 20% of staff at the firm are on, or have completed an apprenticeship with Ebsford. Last year, they won Unilever’s Small Employer of the Year at the National Apprenticeship Awards and were also named in the Top 100 Apprenticeship Employer list.

Speaking to HR Grapevine, Hartley explains how they have integrated a thorough learning and development strategy which aims to impact both the business and community.
