Bill Marley, the man behind unemployment charity the Employability Trust, has been named as one of only 50 business figures in the UK to receive a top national accolade.

The Trust has already helped two young people into jobs and put another through their forklift training programme this year!

Local man Craig Savage was out of work for three years, but turned long-term unemployment into opportunity within six months of coming to The Employability Trust.

The Employability Trust is able to offer local employers a flexible solution to recruitment and short term staffing problems with our bank of tried and tested employment ready reliable young people. We are currently working with 9 local employers in the Peterlee area - could we help you?

Congratulations to Craig Savage, 23, who today became a fully qualified Fork Lift Training Instructor and will be joining the team at the Employability Trust
