This membership highlights our dedication to building a highly skilled, socially mobile workforce and elevates us as a leader in championing career development within the UK’s electrical, mechanical, and fire & security sectors.
The 5% Club is a dynamic movement of more than 1,100 forward-thinking UK employers united by a shared vision: building a prosperous, socially cohesive nation through “earn and learn” initiatives. Members of The 5% Club commit to having at least 5% of their workforce engaged in earn-and-learn roles, including apprenticeships, graduate training programs, and sponsored student opportunities, within five years of joining.
Collectively, members of The 5% Club:
This movement reflects a profound commitment to bridging the skills gap and enabling workforce development through practical, skills-based education.
At HF, we recognise that apprenticeships are not just a career starting point—they are the cornerstone of our company’s growth and success. Our apprenticeship program has consistently attracted fresh talent, providing hands-on experience that blends technical training with real-world applications. This approach ensures our apprentices emerge as skilled professionals ready to make significant contributions to the industry.
Why we are a big believer in apprenticeships:
Aspiring apprentices can embark on their journey with HF through our collaborations with leading colleges in Glasgow, Edinburgh, Manchester, and Aberdeen. These partnerships provide the foundational training essential for a successful career. HF apprentices gain the chance to work on impactful projects, learning from industry experts and contributing to the excellence we deliver to our clients.
The 5% Club isn’t just about numbers—it’s about fostering a culture of learning and growth across the UK. Its emphasis on high-quality “earn and learn” opportunities aligns perfectly with our core values of safety, people, integrity, and quality. By participating in this movement, we join a collective effort to nurture talent, combat skills shortages and drive societal progress.
As a Gold Member, we are honoured to be part of this transformative initiative, reinforcing our role as a company that values its people, invests in its future and builds a better, more inclusive workforce.
