Surrounding Attractions

Whilst Wolverhampton is a city, it's centrally located with some of the country most beautiful forests right on our doorstep. Cannock chase is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty which offers ample opportunity for walks, bike rides and horse riding.

We have an in-house apprenticeship team who are committed to helping support our staff grown and develop. Our opportunities aren't just open to new starters in entry level positions, but existing staff who wish to undertake higher qualifications at under and post graduate levels.

Staff wellbeing

Protecting the health and wellbeing of our staff is really important, especially in these uncertain times as we respond and deal with the COVID-19 pandemic. We believe that supporting our staff's wellbeing in the workplace is an important shared responsibility. We have comprehensive resources to support out staff.
