“I manage the apprenticeship levy for East Sussex County Council. Being a local authority we have a large levy pot and have had difficulty in the past finding training providers who could help us to organically grow the number of apprenticeships we have and spend more of our apprentice levy funding. As soon as we started to work with MBKB they got the unique challenges we faced as a large organisation who were constantly being asked to do more for less. And the challenge of incorporating a culture of apprenticeships within this culture. MBKB were able to adapt their style of teaching and support where needed, to remain inclusive to all our teams across the various departments of the council. In addition, when there were issues to be addressed, I have found MBKB to be on hand with honest, helpful and solution based feedback that keeps learners and managers on board. The team are also very good at thinking outside of the box and coming up with suggestions or working with us on ideas to expand our reach across the local authority and it’s schools, to ensure we reach as many of our 9000 plus staff as possible. In addition, I have had dealings with a wide range of the staff at MBKB, all of whom I have found to be friendly, approachable and driven to deliver the best service they can for their clients.” Martin Kelly Apprenticeship Levy Strategy Manager
East Sussex County Council
