Jack Lawson, 19, will be the new face at Arkwright Court based Alpha Digital, embarking on a two-year traineeship.

He is joining our engineering team, working on installing and repairing audio-visual and digital signage products.

Jack, who has a BTEC in business and finance from Runshaw College and is a keen junior football referee in his spare time, has arrived via Training 2000.

We have already recently taken on two new engineers and a business development manager, to complement recent deals with the likes of The Jockey Club and Blackburn Rovers.

Leighton Chance, our operations manager, said: “We are excited to employ Jack, developing his skills and focusing on eventually making him a full-time employee.

“He has the necessary skills, attention to detail and positive attitude to make him a valuable member of the team.”
