Chris Tomlinson was interviewed on Monday 12th April by Steve Saul on the 6pm BBC Radio Manchester Business Show. Steve was interested in why writing a children's book would be good for a provider of electrical and plumbing services. Steve also asked about the situation regarding apprentices and if Country & Town was trying to encourage more young people to become apprentices.
We hope that the Victor and Percy books entertain the young reader and that they will find value in them. Of course we believe that the books will help to promote our business. The business has spent a lot of time and money producing the first book and intends to invest more money in The Adventures of Victor and Percy series. We would like to see a return on that investment.
We also think that the information contained in the books will encourage young people to work hard at school and think about what they want to do when they leave school. As Steve mentioned they do contain information about careers as electricians and plumbers. We are not trying to encourage people down a vocational or an academic route. We just aim to provide some additional information to enable young people to make an informed decision.
