Hire a marketing apprentice in Solihull
From Blythe Valley to the Business Park, we help Solihull employers recruit and train marketing talent — with the funding and admin handled.
Solihull packs an unusual amount of business into a small area: corporate offices along the M42 corridor, the business parks around the NEC and the airport, and a dense base of professional and owner-managed firms in the town itself. It's also one of the easiest places in the Midlands to recruit into, sitting between Birmingham and Coventry with good transport in both directions.
That combination makes it a strong place to build marketing capability from the ground up rather than compete for it on salary.
This works well for Solihull employers who are
- Office-based B2B businesses on the business parks who need marketing delivered consistently rather than in bursts
- Professional firms — legal, financial, property — where marketing sits awkwardly between partners and admin
- Automotive and engineering supply-chain businesses with a technical product and no one to explain it well
- Larger sites with an apprenticeship levy pot that isn't being fully drawn down
Recruitment is included
We source and shortlist candidates for you at no cost. Because Solihull draws from both the Birmingham and Coventry travel-to-work areas, the available candidate pool is usually wider than employers expect. See who's currently looking near your postcode on the talent matching page.
What your apprentice learns
Our Multi-Channel Marketer apprenticeship covers marketing theory, understanding your customer, marketing planning, campaign management with data analysis, marketing tactics including website, SEO and email, content creation, branding and marketing sustainability — with a Chartered Institute of Marketing qualification embedded at no extra cost. See the full twelve-month journey.
What it costs
For apprentices under 25, the training is 100% government-funded — you pay nothing towards it. For apprentices aged 25 and over, it's 95% funded. Depending on who you hire, you may also qualify for hiring incentives worth thousands, including the Youth Jobs Grant.
