Furthermore, the deal has increased LCG’s relationship with Knowhow, which has grown over the last decade incising the opening of Knowhow IT Training Suite at Newark College last year.

After securing the contract, LCG will now be recruiting and training for a variety of roles for the firm, including team leaders and senior managers.

“We have been working with Knowhow for some time now and our efforts to shape our training to meet the firm’s business needs is obviously working.
