Apprenticeships Conveying Success

A Kenilworth-based Property Search and Conveyancing Solutions firm has taken on five Business Administration Apprentices with training support from Coventry & Warwickshire Chamber of Commerce Training (CWCT).

All five apprentices are based at Index Property Information which is part of a group of 22 offices across England and Wales.

Kate Bould, MD at Index West Midlands returned from California, where she held her real estate license and ran an award winning office, to work at Index Property Information as a Partner covering Leamington Spa and Coventry. In her first year back in the UK, she was awarded Banbury Woman In Business and also became a sponsor for the Warwickshire Law Society.

Index Property Information recently moved from the High Street, in Kenilworth to another location to enable the growth to continue.

Commenting on how the five apprentices have helped Index Property Information to flourish, Kate said: “Obtaining the right person and support is a difficult task as my preference is to hire staff with the right values rather than purely on their skillset. Kate at CWCT managed to source some great candidates for me and I have found that the Business Administration Apprenticeship offers a fantastic opportunity to gain valuable work experience, an exciting job and training support from CWCT which is invaluable.

“All of the apprentices at Index Property Information have a willingness and ability to learn.  Their energy and enthusiasm is fantastic as they are learning all aspects of the business so they can interact and cover each other’s workload when required.  We offer a fast turnaround too as part of our personalised service.  We recently returned a report in just 57 seconds which offers great service for those urgent searches. We are an extension of solicitors’ conveyancing teams and very much value a ‘relationship’ with our clients.”

The apprentices are Matthew Wyatt, Hugh Bartlett, Jayne Rose, Lydia Woodhall and David Wright.  They are all at various stages of studying Levels 2 and 3 Business Administration and are keen to progress and develop within Index Property Information, with some now continuing onto degree levels.
