• Apprenticeships Secure Skills And Support Growth

Entrance Composite Door Solutions has launched a new apprenticeship initiative aimed at securing long-term skills development within its team.

As part of the programme, Scott Ellward, head of the paintshop at ECDS’ Nottingham premises, has successfully completed his Level 3 Team Leader and Supervisor apprenticeship. The training has helped sharpen Ellward’s leadership and operational skills, contributing to smoother workflows and consistent production standards in the paint and finishing department.

The business has also welcomed two new apprentices, Oliver Roberts and Konrad Taraszkiewicz, through Glass and Fenestration Training Solutions, as part of its continued commitment to building a skilled, dependable workforce that can meet the growing demands of the composite door market.

Gregory Kelly, MD at ECDS, says: “We are continuously evaluating our current situation to ensure our customers’ quality and service is exceeding expectations, along with bringing them new products and designs to suit the changing market. This apprenticeship programme is another step in making sure we’re always moving forward.

“For our trade partners, this means continued peace of mind knowing the people behind the products are developing their expertise and contributing to reliable, manufacturing processes.

“Apprenticeships remain one of the most effective ways to tackle the industry’s skills shortage, providing real-world experience and formal training that benefit both businesses and their customers.

“It’s incredibly rewarding to see team members like Scott progressing through formal training and making a real impact on the business. We’re also excited to welcome Oliver and Konrad as the next generation of talent – their enthusiasm and fresh perspectives are already proving valuable.”
