Calyraen
Open a site, and the jobs open with it. We hire and train the people who live nearby, then we publish how we are doing.
When we open a site, we hire from the town it sits in and we train people who have never done the work before. Not a handful of local faces around an imported team. Real jobs, with a path to grow into them. We set a target for local hiring at every location, we hold ourselves to it, and we publish where each site stands. The figures are updated once a year, so anyone can check the promise against the record.
Every new site advertises at home before it looks further afield. Managers, technicians, floor staff: we fill as many roles as we can from the local labour market, and we count them so the number stays honest.
Most of the skills we need can be taught. We run apprenticeships and on-site training, so someone can join with no background in the work and leave qualified. When a senior role opens, we look inside the building before we look outside it.
A building that hires its neighbours feels different. You hear the local accent on the floor, you meet people who started on the line and now run a shift, and the money the site earns tends to stay in the town it came from.
Every site publishes its own hiring and training figures, refreshed each year.
The commitment is not a plaque we hang up after the ribbon is cut. It shapes how a site is built, from the first hire onward.
Before we sign a lease, we learn who lives nearby, what they can already do, and where the skills gaps are. We talk to local schools, colleges and job centres so they know what is coming.
The first roles are filled locally while the site is still being fitted out. New starters train alongside the small core team we bring in, so by opening day the floor is mostly local and mostly ready.
Once a site is running, its hiring and training figures go on this page. We update them every year, whether they flatter us or not.
“A place should be better off for our being there, not just busier.”
Our machines are made by people, in real towns, for real wages. Tying the jobs to the place is not charity. It is how we make sure the work we do leaves something behind.
