“At HIT, we are a business built on outstanding people and the results from the survey demonstrate the positive and supportive atmosphere across the businesses. It’s an exciting time for us with so many changes in the apprenticeship market and the growing preference for work-based learning. With the amazing team we have, we’re continuing to develop our offering and help more businesses and learners to grow their skill set – and what better way to kick-off the year than with this fantastic Times Top100 listing.”
