How Wyred Up helped Global Renewables to
staff their new waste technology plant.
Global Renewables opened their brand new Waste Technology Plant on Hillhouse Industrial Estate at Thornton in Spring 2010. The plant processes and recycles waste from all over Lancashire on a 25 year contract.
The first phase required 175 staff, all trained locally. Wyred Up worked with Blackpool & the Fylde College to launch a Waste Process Worker training course, to give local people the right skills for this work. They all attended interviews, with over 200 people being placed into employment to date.
Fleetwood Job Centre Plus managed the recruitment process for Global Renewables that generated 1000 applications. Staff at Job Centre sifted forms at various stages and also devised a questionnaire which helped Global Renewables to give feedback to Wyre Borough Council. To date the Fleetwood Job Centre has placed 68 local people into work at the plant.
This unique partnership created by Wyred Up between Wyre Borough Council. Blackpool & the Fylde College and Job Centre Plus enabled Global Renewables to fill 129 vacancies out of the 200 using the local labour pool.
