Simon Acres Group Joins Forces With The Worktop Fabricators Federation

Specialist KBB recruitment agency and online training provider, Simon Acres Group Limited is working in collaboration with the Worktop Fabricators Federation (WFF) to support WFF members grow and future-proof their businesses.

WFF is a non-profit organisation that supports those who use industrial fabrication methods to make worktops from natural stone and similar man-made materials. The Federation aims to advance professionalism in the worktop fabrication and stone masonry industries, promoting best practices and workplace health and safety policies. As a unified voice, the WFF represents the industry and guides its members on matters of significant importance.

Through the new partnership, Simon Acres Group will work closely with WFF to provide its members with advice on recruitment including finding the right candidates, the importance of ongoing training and how to hire an apprentice. Simon Acres Group aims to improve the skills shortage within the KBB sector and is therefore a huge advocate of apprenticeships. The group encourages this as a route for employers to nurture fresh talent, bring diverse perspectives and future-proof the industry.

Simon Acres, Managing Director, Simon Acres Group, says: “Within the KBB industry, it’s important that we work together, encourage and support each other to hire more apprentices for a stronger, more secure future. Partnering with WFF gives us an opportunity to explain the benefits of apprenticeships, and the ease of hiring an apprentice, with members of the organisation.

“Recruitment and succession planning are vital aspects of running a business and by joining forces with WFF, we aim to help alleviate the pressure and support members to strive towards future-proofing the industry overall.”

Nigel Fletcher, COO, WFF, adds: “Succession planning is something that our members really need to focus on. Now, with the support of Simon Acres Group, they have access to direct advice on how to hire an apprentice, the importance of onboarding and much more. At WFF, we drive quality and professionalism amongst fabricators, and we’re pleased to have the backing of Simon Acres Group to ensure that our members navigate recruitment in the best ways possible.”
