Upskill Your Manufacturing Team with Government-Funded Apprenticeships
Develop leadership, communication, data, and customer service skills in the manufacturing industry – at no extra cost to your business.
Why HR & L&D Managers Choose Instep
- Close skills gaps in leadership, communication, and data literacy
- Boost retention by investing in employee development
- Build a leadership pipeline from within your existing workforce

Use Your Government Funding (Before it Expires)
Many businesses lose thousands each year in unused levy funds. Instep helps you:
- Identify eligible employees
- Design tailored learning pathways
- Deliver high-impact training with measurable ROI
Did you know?
If your annual payroll exceeds £3 million, you already pay into the Growth and Skills Levy. We help you reclaim that investment through fully funded training programmes.
Case Study: Warbutons – A Toast to Great Managers
Challenge
Warburtons, one of the UK’s most recognised food manufacturing brands, needed to develop junior, middle, and technical managers to drive innovation and continuous improvement across its 12 sites.

- Greater use of tools like the “Five Whys” and influencing techniques
- Fewer issues escalated to senior leadership
