An ECA trip to develop experience and communication with European trainees sees four Leicester-based apprentices return from an exchange programme with the city’s twin town of Dusseldorf.

The apprentices, Sam Peabody, Jonathan Rumming, Matthew Elliot and Chris Bale, worked on projects in Krefeld, near Dusseldorf, following a visit to Leicester by German students last November. The exchange is funded by the British Council as part of its Training Bridge programme.
