“Drawing upon our respective strengths we will work together to market Well’s services to the MNA’s audiences.”
MNA managing director Graeme Clifford said: “We look forward to working with Well to shape a comprehensive recruitment and training offering for the Black Country, Shropshire and surrounding areas, as well as clients from further afield.”
