Ever since John Burrows and his wife Carol opened their first hair salon in 1983, they have been taking on apprentices.
"In my generation, an apprenticeship was the way to learn a trade so it was the obvious way for us to get the skilled staff we needed," Mr. Burrows says.
Today, the Burrows’ salon, Upper Cut in Weston-super-Mare, employs 35 people. Of the 16 stylists, 13 progressed through apprenticeships and Mr. Burrows believes a strong culture of training is integral to the company’s success.
"Without the apprenticeships scheme our business wouldn’t be anything like the size it is today," Mr. Burrows says. The high-quality training the apprenticeships provide guarantees growth. The more skills staff have, the more effective a business will become.

They have experienced epi
A. most of the apprentices in Mr. Burrows' shops can complete the scheme.
B. there is no appropriate way to avoid the apprentices' theft or lateness in the shop.
C. whether they pass the NVQ or not, the apprentices always feel cheerful.
D. during the course of obtaining the NVQ, the apprentices are just rivals, not friends.
