What others are saying
“I am incredibly impressed by the impact of our Lean Manufacturing Operative (LMO) apprenticeship programme – seen in the exceptional projects presented by our team members. Their commitment to move out of comfort zones and learn key lean principles, not only translates into immediate process improvements and cost savings, but also positions us strongly for sustained continuous improvements in manufacturing.”
Paul Hankin
Head of Manufacturing, Altro
Lean Manufacturing Apprenticeship
“What has been achieved through the Lean Manufacturing apprenticeship reflects not only the drive and skills of our team members, but also the benefits available when we engage in lean and waste elimination projects. I am very excited as we continue to work with the team to foster a culture of waste elimination and efficiency. Thank you to everyone involved.”
Paul Hankin
Head of Manufacturing – Altro
“So many moments where I have felt my work at Cidori really makes a difference to someone – when people are genuinely thanking me and are so grateful and happy for the opportunity, support or time that I have been able to give them.“
Corinne Edwards
Employment Operations Manager
“Fast paced and supportive – we really do make a difference – I supported a lady through a Teaching Assistant course. She was excited but nervous and needed reassurance – we kept in touch with job searches and one of the best things was getting a photo from her on her first day in her new job at a school – smiling away!”
Sally Bremner
IAG Officer
“Cidori is a company of opportunity, not only for the adult learners we support, but in-house too. I had worked in my previous role for over ten years and never imagined I’d be able to do the work I am doing now. Cidori really does support progression and celebrates initiative!”
Nicola Arnold
Business Development Manager
“I recently completed the Teaching Assistant course and can’t express enough how grateful I am for this experience!“
