A KIDDERMINSTER-based recruitment consultancy is trying to ensure a high level of skills among its own employees by introducing a training academy for its consultants.

Louise Hewett said: "The new academy will offer further opportunity to develop their skills and knowledge at a much more personal and individual level.

"Our promise to our clients and applicants is to provide 'recognisably better service'. We can only do that if each and every one of us is given the knowledge and tools to be brimming with confidence in our ability."
