Hire a marketing apprentice in Northampton

Northampton sits on one of the busiest logistics corridors in the country, and the businesses around it reflect that: distribution and supply chain, manufacturing, a strong financial and professional services presence in the town, and a long tail of SMEs serving all of it.

Marketing in that environment tends to be functional and neglected in equal measure — plenty of businesses with a good product, a dated website and no one whose job it is to fix either.

This works well for Northampton employers who are

• Logistics, warehousing and supply-chain businesses who need to win contracts and attract staff in a tight labour market
• Manufacturers whose sales have always come from the team and now need a marketing function behind them
• Professional and financial services firms who need steady, compliant, well-written output
• SMEs who've outgrown doing the marketing themselves but can't yet justify a senior hire
