Firm’s trailblazing scheme to nurture young! talent


CONCERN over an ever-ageing labour force has persuaded Castle Cement to bring in a trailblazing apprenticeship scheme at its Clitheroe plant. Aimed at 18-year-olds and


under, it is designed to bring fresh young talent into the company in order to meet future production needs. Two vacancies have been filled


at the plant, and it is anticipated that further opportunities will be^ available in the future. Trade union representatives, as well as national officers, have been con­ sulted and will continue to be involved as the scheme develops. Working towards NVQ in


Process Operations Level III, trainees Daniel Hothersall, pic­ tured right, and Terry Nelson, left, will undergo a comprehensive programme, covering all aspects of cement production from quar­


rying the raw material through to delivering the finished product to^ the customer. This will be fol­ lowed by an "improver" year. ' Mr Gareth. Price, general man-'


. ager.at Castle's Ribblesdale Works, said: "With the compa­ ny's workforce becoming increas­ ingly mature; we have decided to introduce a production trainee- ship scheme (or young people, in addition to oiir existing appren­ ticeship scheme, in order to


‘ ensure that the production needs of the company are met in the longer term, i : "Our threej cement works are


very much a part of the local communities in which they oper­ ate and, as well as developing our workforce, this new scheme also shows our icommitment to strengthening these partner­ ships." (s)

Hopes of united campaign to block Euro directive on supplements


LOCAL MP Nigel Evans has thrown down the gauntlet to three of his parliamentary col­ leagues. He has called on the MPs for


Lancaster, Chorley and Black­ pool South to vote with him on the debate surrounding European directives on traditional herbal remedies and food supplements. The Opposition planned to pro­


Gordon Marsden have submitted petitions' from worried con­ stituents to the House of Com­ mons. Lindsay Hoyle MP has signed an Early Day Motion stat­ ing ‘. . .that sbme 270 safe and popular nutrient sources will be lost to the United Kingdom industry and its consumers...’. , “In the widw interests of their


pose a motion criticising the directive which will severely restrict the availability of many popular food supplements.


Mr Evans said Hilton Dawson,


Lindsay Hoyle and Gordon Mars- den had all contributed to the campaign against this new red- tape. Said Mr Evans: “Lancashire Labour MPs Hilton Dawson and


REPRESENTATIVES from the world of work will be talking to Ribble Valley school-leavers about career options. Open to pupils across East


Lancashire, Jobs Night 2003 is being staged at Pendle Training, in Netherfield Road, Nelson, on Thursday, February 20th, between 5 and 9 p.m. Year 11 students from the Rib­


ble Valley have always attend^ the annual event to speak to local employers about the Modern Apprenticeship Scheme, which offers jobs with training. It is also helpful to pupils who are explor­ ing their career options. This year’s event is being held in part­ nership with East Lancashire Newspapers.
