You’re on your own

Written by Apprentice Business Safety Advisor Laura Broughton

Manchester Central based Business Safety advisor apprentice Lee Waddicor has been given the opportunity to go out into the business community and follow up complaints and give fire safety advice to businesses across Manchester.
Lee has been working with the Protection team in Manchester for just under three months and has progressed to such a level that he is confident to talk to individuals about keeping themselves and the public safe whilst out shopping, relaxing or eating out.

On speaking to Lee about this fantastic opportunity he said,

 

"The experience was a real test if anything. It felt brilliant to have the independence to be able to deal with this issue alone.

 

"It was terrifying at first but as I got there I managed to keep calm and handle the situation. It gave me  a real confidence boost and I know for certain I would be able to go out independently a lot more."
