Di-Spark is a company that takes staff training very seriously as demonstrated by its certification to the Investors in People standard. The organisation also works closely with PETA (Portsmouth Engineering Training Association) to recruit apprentices and trainees. In fact of the company’s 20 direct members of staff, six have been through an apprenticeship programme and three new apprentices have recently been taken on.
“I believe in the period from 1990 to 2000 the industry effectively ‘lost’ a generation of engineers,” Mr Light affirms. “Even back when my father was running the company, Di-Spark has always placed the utmost emphasis on training and through our partnership with PETA we’ve managed to bring new talent into the company on a regular basis.”
