Tulip Ltd use Apprenticeship Levy fund to invest in Coalville community

Tulip Ltd has unveiled plans to use over £40,000 of its Apprenticeship Levy to invest in the local community in Coalville, becoming one of the first food manufactures to reinvest the funds.

Rachel Baldwin, vice president of human resources at Tulip.

Tulip, a foodservice manufacturer, has been operating from its Coalville site since 1930 and the investment will offer local apprenticeship programmes for the area.

The funding will support one team leader apprenticeship role for local hygiene company Scaan, who are currently part of the Tulip supply chain, helping to upskill employees and offer management qualifications.

A further two level five apprenticeships will also be funded for MRC Community Action, a registered charity based at the Marlene Reid Centre in Coalville. MRC works in partnership with the local community, offering on-the-job placements for people on training schemes.

Rachel Baldwin, vice president human resources, Tulip Ltd, said: “We’re really proud to be able to support the local Coalville community, offering additional apprenticeship options and contributing to the skills-pool of the area.”

Baldwin continued: “Working closely with the local communities we are located in is really important to Tulip and will support the business in the long term. We would encourage all businesses to make the most of the levy funds in order to bring a new generation of talent into the food industry. This funding will be the first of many local projects across the UK, including apprenticeships for our agricultural partners.”

Mike Fox, operations director at Scaan, commented on the announcement: “We are always looking to develop good employees. This opportunity will be a huge advantage to a member of our team in her career progression, while both Scaan and Tulip will also benefit by having a skilled person in a key position.”
