Paragon skills for industry

Kerry Reynolds at Medisave

Kerry Reynolds, 20, has recently completed an Apprenticeship in Business and Administration while working at Medisave UK Ltd, a Weymouth based specialist of medical supplies and HSE First Aid Kits.

In her role as Customer Accounts and Purchasing Administration Supervisor, Kerry’s job is varied and includes setting up new customer accounts, placing stock orders and dealing with order queries.

“I have benefited a lot from doing the Apprenticeship, it has given me more confidence in my job and I have developed many skills which I can apply to my working day, such as IT and communication skills.

“The training programme has also improved my knowledge of health and safety and employment legislation. My progression has led to my recent promotion which has now allowed me to progress to a Level 3 Apprenticeship which I will complete in August,” says Kerry.

“The Apprenticeship is a great way to gain and improve skills in your working environment and I would highly recommend it. Since joining Medisave I have been lucky enough to receive two promotions and I hope to keep progressing and improving my skills with the help of further training from Paragon Skills.”

Nicola Wright, Medisave Director, recognises the benefits of enrolling staff onto Apprenticeships with Paragon Skills: “We have a number of staff that have participated in Apprenticeships with Paragon Skills. The training programmes on offer are excellent for those entering a new career or that want to gain additional skills to those acquired from vocational experience.

“Kerry has been an outstanding learner, she joined the company in 2006 and we are delighted with how well she has advanced. We are keen to invest and support our staff wherever possible by creating opportunities for them to develop and grow with Medisave.

“Kerry’s progress has certainly been accentuated by her Apprenticeship with Paragon Skills and she continues to exceed our expectations.”
