Keith London made Honorary HBA President
The remarkable growth of the Hinckley Business Association was acknowledged during the recent annual general meeting which culminated in the appointment of Keith London as Honorary President.
Mr. London (picture right at the recent HBA awards dinner), has been the main driving force behind the Association since its inception. As well as continuing to be one of the key figures in the HBA, Keith will now be free to champion one of the causes closest to his heart - working with both public and private sectors on the establishment of effective and much-needed apprenticeships.
"I see high quality training of young people as being of paramount importance to Hinckley Businesses over the coming years" he said after the meeting.
"Lack of suitably qualified employees is consistently the biggest single concern for employers in this area" he added. "Youth unemployment is one of the greatest contemporary concerns across the UK".
