Dragons’ Den … The Apprentice … Amdega Academy Summer School!

Amdega Blogger asks you to think back to last August when Amdega, the premier bespoke conservatory manufacturer, announced details of the Amdega Academy. Ten members of staff were given the opportunity to undertake a three year business degree and the scheme was open to all employees with a view to developing junior to middle management at the oldest manufacturer of timber conservatories and orangeries in the world.


Well, after a very successful first year the Academy has now introduced a summer school for its members to put what they have learnt so far into practice. Split into two teams, they are tasked with investigating opportunities for the company and to evaluate, plan and hopefully implement key initiatives. After seven weeks they will formally present their proposals to Amdega’s board of directors; hopefully not “Apprentice” style and prizes are up for grabs!


Remember, Amdega is renowned for excellence in conservatory design and quality across its range of traditional and contemporary orangeries, conservatories, summerhouses, gazebos and conservatory blinds. Paul Cruddace, Sales & Marketing Director advises “by introducing the Academy we hope our staff will continue to be motivated, hard working and committed to taking Amdega forward”.


Stay tuned for next week’s blog about the forthcoming upgrade of Amdega’s web site.


All good stuff.
