Focus SB opens its doors for National Manufacturing Day
Recent King's Award for Enterprise for International Trade winner in St Leonards on Sea, Focus SB is reaching out to the local community by throwing open its doors and offering a guided tour and presentation as part of Make UK's National Manufacturing Week on September 28.
Offering successful apprenticeships and graduate training programmes, Gary Stevens, Managing Director says: “I have been in manufacturing for over 40 years and started life as a technical apprentice. The future of any industry is the people and skills that underpin it and that is no more a true fact than in manufacturing and whilst there is still a requirement for the old traditional craftsman skills in manufacturing, there is a growing demand for people with IT skills, skills in robotics and AI, design and creative skills, sales and marketing skills, HR, accountancy and administrative skills.”
