Firstly, we felt it was important to have a small cohort so that we can ensure we offer the right level of support and resources for the trainees. Secondly, the scheme needs to be proportionate to the size of our company and the number of appropriate roles available in our business for trainees to progress to.
Finally, we aim to develop and recruit staff in a number of different ways, as this makes our business stronger; staff will come to management positions from a number of different routes, including working their way up through the company and moving to ATG after working elsewhere.
The scheme is not intended to be the only route into management roles in the company.
