MK Wildin and Sons Ltd

There is a clear commitment to training and developing staff at MK Wildin. Led by the Managing Director, Brett Wildin, who recently completed NVQ Level 5 in Construction Management, that commitment is apparent throughout the company. With a vision to have the most highly skilled workforce possible, MK Wildin joined the Apprenticeship programme in 1991. Brett was the first trainee achieving a carpentry/joinery Apprenticeship. The programme has grown and developed in size, level and breadth over the last sixteen years and is embedded into the organisation's culture - forming an integral part of the business plan for the next five years at least. The company's current apprentices range in age from 16 to 60, undertaking NVQ Levels 2 to 5 in carpentry, brick, plant leadership and management administration. Staff retention is 100% and, alongside formal training, the company has a strong ethos of peer mentoring, experience sharing and the achievement of best practice. MK Wildin has earned Investors in People status because of its commitment to its employees. As Managing Director, Brett Wildin is dedicated to self improvement personally and to ensuring that the workforce benefits of training are fully realised and their potential maximised.
