HMG Paints invests in long-term talent development
Participation in apprenticeship and T-Level programmes has grown significantly since 2023, spanning both technical and non-technical roles. Head of People and Culture Melissa Strowbridge completed a Degree Level Apprenticeship in Business Management, describing it as“ an excellent launchpad” that laid the foundations for her career growth.
As National Apprenticeship Week marks its 19th year, HMG Paints is reaffirming its commitment to workforce development by showcasing the wide range of apprenticeship pathways available across the business.
Apprenticeships form a central part of HMG’ s long-term development strategy, supporting the growth of technical expertise and industry knowledge through structured, on-the-job learning. Many senior leaders began their careers as apprentices, reflecting the company’ s culture of progression from within. Around 40 % of employees have undertaken external training during their time at HMG, highlighting its continued investment in people.
Product Manager Shannon Williams also progressed through a Degree Apprenticeship, gaining business and management expertise that supported her transition from Print Room Assistant into a leadership role.
Current apprentices are equally positive. Marketing Executive Apprentice Joshua Hibbert credits his programme with providing valuable hands-on experience across technical and creative marketing disciplines. Meanwhile, Lewis Whalen recently completed his CIMA Level 7 qualification, strengthening his accounting career.
HMG also supports T-Level pathways, with former Laboratory Technician Apprentice Luis Beaumont recently nominated for
Apprentice of the Year at the 2025 British Coating Federation Awards.
Through apprenticeships and structured training, HMG Paints continues to develop skilled professionals who drive the company’ s long-term success. www. hmgpaint. com
