“ As an organization ,” Ian continues , “ we are committed to training and innovation . These are key elements of the Fort Vale philosophy . We believe that hard work , the best training , and innovation using the best facilities and people are the cornerstone of our success . For over 50 years , we have been training approximately eight apprentices every year . It ’ s a formal four-year course , so , we currently have about 32 young people going through the process . At the end of their training , they will have respected qualifications and be a skilled operator . Several will stay with the company . In fact , three of my directors started here as apprentices . We always believe in promoting from within wherever we can . Many of these young people end up in management roles and do vital work for the company , while earning a good living .
“ I think we do things right here . We not only listen to and learn from our customers , but we also act on their feedback to offer a reliable and quality service . People have confidence in our products . I ’ ve got an excellent team of people here . We foster an informal environment with a family feel . I know most of the people on the shop floor by name and they all know me . We have a very good relationship with our people and meet representatives from each section every month to talk through any issues . Our people want to do a good job and they want to make the company successful .
