Print Solutions

Birmingham based direct mail fulfilment and print management services provider, Baker Goodchild, has announced that two of its apprentice interns have been taken on by the company following successful completion of their internships, with a third currently in the early stages of his apprenticeship role. This follows recent investments in new equipment as the business continues to grow and expand.

Baker Goodchild has taken on a number of apprentice/interns in the past to support the development and growth of the business, with the company believing in the importance of supporting young people and giving them an opportunity to develop their skills and potential with the company.

The two apprentice interns, Mohammed Pandhair and Asif Mohammed, have now been appointed to roles within the company, having shown great initiative and development since being taken on by the company following completion of their respective university courses. The third, Connor Sadik, is currently just three months into his role of Apprentice Campaign Co-Ordinator.

Mohammed Pandhair has been appointed to the role of marketing executive, having been taken on by Baker Goodchild as a marketing intern during the third year of his four year course at Kingston University in London.

Speaking about what he has gained from his apprenticeship/internship, Mohammed stated, ‘The valuable experience that I have gained is how to work within a fast paced work environment. Developing reports after in depth analysis of scenarios then finding suitable methods to control the scenarios. Also it boosted my drive and ambition and gave me a clear view of the career path I would like to follow.’

Asif Mohammed has been appointed to the role of data and laser executive, following successful completion of his internship. He said, ‘Being within a working office environment and working within a team has been, and will continue to be, an experience within itself.’

Speaking about the success of the latest apprentice interns, Baker Goodchild managing director Lorraine Burnell stated, ‘Having apprentices within our company gives students the opportunity to develop interests within a business environment and obtain a career path, they are eager to learn, develop new skills and enhance their knowledge in a niche industry such as ours.

‘We are investing time and training these apprentices to ensure they placed in the departments that suits their qualities and abilities and to date all the apprentices we have taken on have become full time employees of the business.’
