FOUR people have just passed through a Bridgwater firm’s Alan Sugar-style Apprentice programme to produce first-class lawyers delivering exceptional customer care

The aim of the scheme is to produce first-class employees and to deliver exceptional customer care up there with the very best.

Managing Partner Guy Adams said: “We are absolutely thrilled for Chris, Leanne, Gareth and Mark.

“Producing first-class lawyers delivering exceptional customer care is what we are all about. This Associates Programme has been deliberately challenging and they have all without exception benefitted from the process enormously.”

The four candidates have undergone an extensive programme of activities including psychometric tests, finance and networking workshops, and culminating in a 1 ½ hour presentation and interview.
