MM Packaging Deeside is creating new career opportunities for local people after launching a recruitment drive for five apprentices across the business, which manufactures cartons for big brands in markets including confectionery and drinks. Designed to support long-term career development, the scheme provides apprentices with the skills, confidence and knowledge needed to build successful careers in their chosen field. Supported by the BPIF, MM Packaging's three-year manufacturing apprenticeship programme provides a pathway to a nationally recognised Level 3 NVQ qualification. David Whitworth, managing director at MM Packaging Deeside, said: "We're proud to be able to offer these opportunities to people in our local community. By continuing to invest in apprenticeships, MM Packaging aims to support local employment opportunities while helping individuals gain valuable qualifications, experience and long-term career prospects.
