Joanne Pickering, Director of HR, Training and Quality at Forbes Solicitors comments, “This is a unique programme developed in conjunction with Burnley College which enables young employees to gain their first work related qualification. Many of our apprentices have gone on to have successful careers within Forbes.”

We are all aware that the the Olympic Games are commencing, from 27th July to 12th August.
During this period we can expect a varied amount of disruption to our delivery service to the Arab Authorities especially when events are held near to their location. Until the games begin it will be very difficult to predict how disruptive things will be.
Therefore we advise you where possible to submit documentation to us at the earliest possible opportunity.
Not forgetting the Paralympic’s commencing 29th August to 9th September which may also cause disruption, but hopefully not to the same degree. We will of course keep you updated on these games nearer the time.
