Case Studies the Employer

• Tom OMahony, McNicholas Senior Project Manager,
  More London
• At the moment its incredibly hard to find
  skilled labour in central London. The screening
  which BLCF can provide really pays off because we
  can be confident with the calibre of the people
  were taking on
• Three of the new recruits from the BLCF
  programme had been unemployed for over a year but
  the advance training and support provided by the
  BLCF Workplace Coordinator really pays off.
  Ensuring people have the necessary grounding in
  basic skills as well as Health Safety
  principles makes starting work much less
  nerve-wracking and makes life much easier for the
  employers as well

Case Studies the Employee

• Ganger, Logistics Team, Wilson James, More London
• I contacted the Workplace Coordinator after
  a friend gave me the number and my life has
  changed since I did. I had been unemployed for
  about 5 months and before that Id been doing
  agency work. The agency work was a irregular
  though and it was hard to combine looking after
  my son and working.
• Now I am the Logistics Team Ganger with
  Wilson James and in a few weeks time Im going
  for my NVQ1. Im taking computer classes twice
  a week and because I live 5 minutes from the site
  I still have time to see my son. The Workplace
  Coordinator has even helped find and pay for a
  childminder after school and during the holidays.
  I cant believe how much my life has changed!
  Its great!
