After this apprenticeship

The right applicant is likely to want to progress onto AAT and maybe ACCA qualifications.
The better the student does, the more of my time is freed up meaning the business can grow more and we both thrive in a positive cycle.
The dream scenario is that in 20 years time I can pass the business on to the next generation and wind down my involvement, as I am doing with my business partner who first helped set me up in business.
