KARTT Apprenticeship programme has been launched in order to allow new apprentices to develop a full understanding of the business and offer the flexibility to work across the business to ensure they can grow and maintain good customer service.

As a smaller organisation this approach offers a unique insight into how all the elements of a business come together to secure sustained profitable growth.

Whilst the role will be admin focused, it will also have a number of practical elements. You will be developing a full understanding of their products, supporting the warehouse team at unusually busy times.

You will also talk to customers, telephoning them to discuss orders or delivery plans and the processing of orders.

You will also learn about the raising of invoices and supporting paperwork for both UK and EU orders. This requires the completion of Export and customs admin and appreciation of the currencies the company trade in.

As well as this you will have an Introduction to Marketing and develop some responsibilities for marketing communication and eshots.
