Landmark Trust Project

"A new project - Landmark Trust apprenticeship

The Landmark Trust is a charity that rescues historically significant buildings that would otherwise be lost, restoring them into self-catering holiday accommodation available to everyone, so that they can be enjoyed and are protected for the future. FINHUMF is delighted to contribute to this valuable effort by funding their two-year long training apprenticeship - this will be a joinery apprenticeship working in the Historic Estates team at the Trust, training under Mark Smitten their highly skilled and experienced Workshop Manager based in Honeybourne. This apprenticeship will also include a formal qualification at the highly regarded Rycotewood Furniture Centre in Oxford.  

"For us at Landmark, our work is all about outcomes for people, not just bricks and mortar" commented Bruce Hall, Head of Development at the Landmark Trust, "We have had experience with informal sponsorship of talented individuals like Bill Barkley, who now is a full time member of our team, and this project will, we hope, allow us to facilitate more formalised and organised training, in partnership with other organisations, to benefit the overall effort at the Trust"  

 Leslie Hill, Trustee at FINHUMF added "Innovative and exciting training programmes are what FINHUMF is all about, giving people a chance to find their niche in the world and be empowered to live a good life is what we strive for. We see the Landmark Trust as an excellent example of our ideals, and are very excited to be a part of their work."
