MP backs apprenticeships

The vital importance of apprenticeships in a fast-growing pan-European company was high on the agenda when Stafford-based European Automation welcomed local MP Jeremy Lefroy to the company's headquarters recently.

European Automation is a supply chain specialist selling new, used, refurbished and obsolete industrial automation spares. Its global network of preferred partner warehouses and multilingual employees enables the Staffordshire based company to provide a unique service within the automation industry.

Although less than three years' old, the business has grown massively and currently employs more than 50 people at its Staffordshire Technology Park offices. The company expects to recruit a further 20-30 new staff during 2012.

The discussion between Lefroy and the European Automation team reinforced the necessity for apprenticeships in the region. "I was also pleased to hear that the company has already taken on three apprentices... I welcome this positive approach to job creation in Stafford and hope to see more companies following European Automation's example," he said.
