“It’s exciting to be welcoming new talent to our business and to be offering exciting career paths to the next generation,” said Andrew Charnley, managing director at Assetz Capital.

“Having seen first-hand throughout my career, the amazing progress that apprentices make, it’s especially pleasing to be supporting investment in this cohort, especially at a time when many employers will be pulling back from such expenditure.
