Case Study - The Cabinet Maker
Ben Clements, a skilled cabinet maker with high-quality bespoke furniture makers Archer and Smith, is full of praise for the training his company provided with Didac’s assistance.
“I enjoyed my Apprenticeship. Not only did I learn the traditional skills of cabinet making, I learned about veneering and using woodworking machinery.
“I was pleased that I did not have to go to college. The training was of a high standard and delivered on a one-to-one basis, which was great!”
Ben completed his Apprenticeship in furniture to Level 3 in December 2006.
Swindon-based Archer and Smith specialise in providing luxury quality furnishings and joinery services to the top end of the market – including several royal families and noted celebrities.
The firm’s MD Rob Audritt is vocal in his support of work-based learning: “Without these tailor-made apprenticeships we would be unable to maintain our high skill levels.”
