He deserved the award as much for his attitude as the work he put in.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ellis has a long history of supporting apprenticeships. All of the company\u2019s toolmakers started their careers as apprentices, including tool room manager, Mark Angus.<\/p>\n<p>Ellis MD, Richard Shaw, said: \u201cThe value of putting people through apprenticeships can\u2019t be underestimated. From an employee point of view, an apprenticeship means learning and earning, at the end of which you have a qualification and up to three-years\u2019 work experience on your CV, and have avoided running up potentially crippling student debts.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile from our point of view, we get to educate new staff members in the Ellis way of doing business, and ensure our workforce maintains its reputation for being highly qualified, highly skilled and highly experienced.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.derwenttraining.co.uk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">www.derwenttraining.co.uk<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ellispatents.co.uk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">www.ellispatents.co.uk<\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>Pictured: Adam Freer of Ellis receives his Apprentice of the Year Award from Linda Cowling, Leader of Ryedale District Council.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Adam Freer of cable cleat manufacturer Ellis has been named Derwent Training Association\u2019s Apprentice of the Year (final year workplace NVQ).
