Tow-Trust Towbars Hires 3 Through Work Trials as Warwickshire Skills Hub Backs Training

Summary
Three Warwickshire Supported Employment Service candidates secured roles at Tow-Trust Towbars after the manufacturer replaced traditional interviews with work trials for jobs in Laser, Packing and Stores.
Tow-Trust adopted the route after Warwickshire Skills Hub helped review its workforce needs, as the company struggled to attract and retain staff for physically demanding roles.
Skills Hub support also unlocked Skills Escalator Fund backing for customer care and communications training across 2025/26, aimed at strengthening confidence and skills throughout the business.
One employee was also referred to the Coventry and Warwickshire WorkWell Programme for mental health support, extending the partnership from recruitment into staff retention and wellbeing.
Warwickshire County Council is using the case to highlight its Fair Chance Employment Programme and Supported Employment Service as tools to widen hiring and build more inclusive local workforces.
