- Redup meet with Sir Alan Sugar - On Tuesday 9th June 2009 Redup were treated to a rare and unique opportunity of having a private meeting with Sir Alan Sugar ahead of his seminar on the importance of apprenticeship. Just nine guests were invited to a attend a private meeting with Sir Alan and the three M.P's he was leading the event with. The group consisted of three employees, three apprentices and three representatives from training organisations. Sir Alan was quick to dissipate any nerves that they all had and he was soon cracking jokes with Redup's young apprentice Ben Cooper. They soon got down to business however and focus was immediately given to the importance of apprenticeships to both young people and employers in the region and Sir Alan was keen to hear from both sides of the apprenticeship process. Ben Cooper has been climbing the ladder of success since he joined Redup in October last year. He continues to exceed Redup's expectations and they are thrilled with his progress. Well done Ben!
