On a recent visit to Forterra's Desford site - where they are spending £95m to create Europe's biggest and most efficient brick factory - I spoke with the company’s Chief Executive and Strategic Projects Director about the Apprenticeship Levy and how it could help them teach valuable skills to people in our area.
Today I asked the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy to work with myself and businesses like Forterra brickworks to get rid of the red tape.
