Arthur Springthorpe has joined mode’s Birmingham office as part of this year’s intake and he shares his thoughts and hopes for this years programme:

“ Even during these uncertain times, due to the impacts of COVID-19, mode have welcomed me as their new apprentice.
I am very much looking forward to getting stuck in with design work, as well as the overall learning package that the national apprenticeship programme has to offer; all of which will keep me very busy I’m sure! ”

mode have used the National Apprenticeship Program since 2012 and it has had a very positive impact on our organisation; Managing Director David Frisby:

“ We are very much looking forward to working with and supporting Arthur though his apprenticeship; apprentices and young people have had an amazing impact on the business by always bringing a fresh perspective to everything that we do. They like to challenge the tried and tested way of doing things and we encourage them to do just that; ensuring that mode remains a young and vibrant company! ”
