Apprenticeship Central and Solution Repair Group join forces to support Independent Repairers

Apprenticeship Central and Solution Repair Group are proud to announce a new partnership, reinforcing both organisations’ commitment to helping independent repairers build strong, sustainable futures.

Through this collaboration, independent repairers will be able to better navigate the challenges of the apprenticeship landscape — from recruiting the best new talent to implementing strong retention strategies that secure long-term success. By building future-ready workforces, the partnership addresses the skills gap and strengthens the resilience of independent businesses.

Eleanor Baker Barnes, Commercial Director of Apprenticeship Central, commented: “Working in partnership with Solution Repair Group cements our commitment to the industry and to supporting repairers – whether that’s helping a bodyshop take on their very first apprentice or developing a bespoke programme for their future needs. It’s all about protecting these businesses for the next generation.”

Chris Weeks, Managing Director of Solution Repair Group, added: “At Solution, we are passionate about helping independent repairers remain competitive and resilient. Partnering with Apprenticeship Central gives our members the expertise and guidance they need to build future-ready workforces, ensuring the longevity of their businesses.”

Together, Apprenticeship Central and Solution Repair Group are taking practical action to address the skills gap and secure the future of the independent repair sector.
