Commercial fire and security specialist, Tecserv UK have entered into a new partnership with Skills for Security, the UK’s largest fire and security apprenticeship training provider, to support the development of new and existing talent across its business.

The partnership will see Skills for Security support Tecserv with its fire and security apprenticeship programme, helping the company attract and develop the next generation of skilled professionals within the industry.

Three new apprentices have joined Tecserv’s programme over the last three months, marking an important step in the company’s commitment to investing in developing new talent and building the skills it needs for the future.

Skills for Security will continue to support Tecserv as the company grows its apprenticeship programme and recruits further apprentices in the years ahead.

Alongside its apprenticeship provision, 52 Tecserv employees have also been enrolled onto Skills for Security’s Skills On-Demand platform, providing them with flexible access to a growing library of online training and development content.

The platform enables employees to continue developing their technical knowledge, industry awareness and wider professional skills at a time and place that suits them – supporting continuous learning alongside their day-to-day roles.

The partnership reflects Tecserv’s commitment to investing in its people, while ensuring its workforce has access to the training and development opportunities needed to maintain high standards across the fire and security sector.

Commenting on the partnership, Colin Milligan, Chief Operating Officer at Tecserv UK said, “We’re committed to investing in our people and developing the skills we need for the future. Our partnership with Skills for Security gives us the opportunity to support new talent through apprenticeships while also providing our wider team with access to ongoing professional development. We’re particularly pleased to have welcomed three new apprentices over the last three months and are looking forward to seeing them develop and make their contribution to the business. We’re excited about continuing to build on this partnership as Tecserv grows.”

David Scott, Managing Director at Skills for Security added, “We’re delighted to be working in partnership with Tecserv to support both its apprenticeship provision and the continued development of its wider workforce. Developing the next generation of fire and security professionals is hugely important to the future of our industry, and it’s fantastic to see Tecserv investing in apprentices while also providing opportunities for its existing employees to continue developing their skills.”

The partnership between Tecserv and Skills for Security brings together apprenticeship training and ongoing professional development, helping to create a strong pipeline of talent while supporting the continued growth and capability of Tecserv’s existing workforce.
