Apprenticeship provider in regional expansion

Apprenticeship provider EMA Training has announced its expansion into another East Midlands city.

The Derby-based firm, which last year celebrated its 10th anniversary, has opened its Leicester Hub, welcoming students and business partnerships from across the county.

The new location will be headed up by Gemma Orton, who joins the EMA team as regional director for the Leicester Hub.

Tracey Mosley, managing director at EMA Training, said: “We have been frequently approached over the years by businesses, parents and school leavers, to bring our brand to Leicester.

“Timing is crucial, and we needed to ensure we had a regional director capable of driving this initiative forward successfully and I believe that Gemma Orton is that person.

“With her established relationships in Leicester, her drive, ambition, and proven track record, she is the ideal fit for our future plans.

“In the 20-plus years I have known her, she has excelled in everything she undertakes, which excites not only me but the whole of the EMA team.”
