It's no secret that the manufacturing sector is facing a critical skills shortage. So could the new apprenticeship rule changes be the solution we've been waiting for here in the UK? Announced earlier this week during #NationalApprenticeshipWeek – these reforms offer some promising changes: 1️⃣ Flexibility: businesses will now have more say in English and Maths qualification requirements for over-19 apprentices, allowing the prioritisation of practical skills for many manufacturing roles. 2️⃣ Faster onboarding: shorter apprenticeship durations (down to 8 months from 12) mean quicker integration of new recruits into the workforce, addressing urgent staffing needs. 3️⃣ Upskilling opportunities: these changes also benefit existing employees, enabling them to adapt to new technologies and processes. 4️⃣ Skills England's strategic role: the new Skills England will play a key role in identifying and addressing skills shortages within manufacturing.

Warehouse worker wellbeing: are we finally moving in the right direction? 🧠 A recent report on warehouse workers' mental health reveals a significant positive trend - over half of warehouse workers report job satisfaction and experience no negative mental health impact from their roles. This is a huge step forward and suggests that as an industry we're starting to get things right! The report highlights several key factors contributing to this positive shift: ✅ Fair compensation: competitive salaries are clearly making a difference. ✅ Strong team dynamics: a positive workplace culture and supportive colleagues are crucial. ✅ Tech-enabled efficiency: equipment to minimise injury risk and increase efficiency is boosting morale and reducing stress. ✅ Empowered employees: supportive management, access to training, and development opportunities are all playing a vital role.

Question: How did we help Coventry Building Society Arena double their productivity? 💭 Answer: By partnering with Briggs Equipment UK Ltd to tackle a common challenge - manual bin handling. For a venue that can hold over 32,000 spectators, waste management is a big undertaking. Moving bins manually was labour-intensive, inefficient, and posed a risk of injury. The solution? Our TOW300 electric tug allows the team to move twice the amount of bins as before. Not only has productivity increased, but the risk of injury has been virtually eliminated. It's a win-win! Seemingly small operational improvements can make a huge difference in productivity and employee well-being.
