“It’s refreshing to work at Ginger Nut because creating opportunities and improving lives is at the heart of what we do. This ethos applies not just to the apprentices we train but also to the staff. Continuous Professional Development is an expectation, and GNT is very supportive in enabling me to certify my skills.
