Adam Boswell of COFELY has become the first person in the UK to pass the Trend Apprenticeship Scheme, a scheme designed in conjunction with Trend Control Systems to train apprentices in the building controls field.
Boswell joined COFELY in 2003 as a service/gas engineer and in 2008 responded to an advert for staff to train as controls engineers.

During his two year apprenticeship Boswell undertook a variety of tasks within COFELY's Controls Department, ranging from large installations through to minor works, involving the full spectrum of Trend products.

The Trend Apprenticeship Scheme is one of a range of training initiatives included within COFELY's Learning Culture Programme which also includes other apprenticeships and a graduate development programme.

During the last five years, more than 120 people have joined the company on development programmes in electrical engineering, BMS, mechanical engineering, HVAC, energy management and business management.
