TB+A are featured in this month's, The Guardian online. As a small business with 200 employees and 20% being apprentices, our TB+A Partner, Neil Weller discusses our apprenticeship journey over the last 10 years.

The article touches on the reasons the business invested in apprenticeships back in 2008, with Neil explaining, "As the global financial crisis unravelled, there was a stark choice confronting the business community: if companies did not start taking on apprentices there could be a lost generation with low skills and poor prospects. We feared so many young people couldn’t afford to go to university, so they would end up leaving school without jobs or vocational training to go into.”
