Local businesses, employees and apprentices came together yesterday to celebrate the successful first year of Croydon Works.
The film also featured Nick Price, associate director at construction company Mulalley, who praised Croydon Works after using the service to recruit for their apprenticeship scheme and to find people to benefit from their work experience opportunities.
"The added value of working with Croydon Works is they have easy access to a large area of the community. They provide a one stop shop, they're a very good use of resources for us and they have enabled and helped us to fulfil our social value commitment to Croydon," he said.
"Croydon Works has had a fantastic first year, helping local people, some of whom were on benefits, into work. This is not only good for them and builds their confidence, but is also good for the taxpayer, our local economy and local employers.
