The scheme represents a £100,000 investment by the business, which has bases in Dunfermline and Inverness.

The course also puts a lot of emphasis on equipping the apprentices with a wider range of skills that we hope will give them a great start to their career.”
Jan Thomson, director of business development at Fife College, said: “It has been extremely rewarding working with CR Smith to create its bespoke apprenticeship programme and as a college we welcome the opportunity to work with local businesses in this way.
