How Our Apprenticeship Programme Develops Technical Service Leaders
Developing Talent to Deliver High-Quality Technical Services
At Hugo Technology, investing in people is fundamental to delivering consistent, high-quality technical services to Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) partners in the medical and laboratory sectors.
By prioritising internal development through structured apprenticeship programmes, Hugo Technology ensures its teams continuously evolve- strengthening operational efficiency, compliance, and service reliability across complex device environments.
Glen Marley: From Warehouse Operative to Technical Leader
Glen Marley’s journey reflects Hugo’s long-standing commitment to internal progression and skills development.
Starting in 2014 as a warehouse operative, Glen advanced to Warehouse Team Leader through dedication and hands-on experience in device handling, logistics, and operational processes. Today, he is further enhancing his expertise through a formal apprenticeship qualification.
Here is what Glen had to say:
“I have been with Hugo Technology for over 10 years now and have seen a lot of change during that time. One thing that hasn’t changed is the company promoting from within. With this apprenticeship opportunity, I see it as the company putting their faith in me and creating possibilities for the future. That is something that excites me, and I look forward to completing it in the next year.”
His development directly supports improved warehouse efficiency, device turnaround times, and adherence to OEM service standards.
Callum’s Rapid Progression into Leadership
Callum joined Hugo Technology in 2021 and quickly progressed into a Team Leader role, demonstrating strong leadership potential and a commitment to continuous learning.
Through the apprenticeship programme, he is gaining deeper insights into management, communication, and operational strategy- skills that are critical in delivering high-quality technical services in regulated industries.
Callum shares from his experience at Hugo:
"I am finding the apprenticeship very interesting; there are such a range of topics that go into management that I wasn’t aware of before starting the apprenticeship. I find the work very rewarding and can see it restructuring the way I manage tasks and communicate at work. I am really excited to see where it takes me personally, but also in the progression of my career and opportunities within work."
His growth contributes to stronger team coordination, improved workflow management, and enhanced service delivery for OEM partners.
Structured Support Driving Meaningful Development
A key factor behind these success stories is Hugo Technology’s structured and supportive learning environment.
Operations Manager Charlotte Griffiths explains:
“Glen and Callum have demonstrated a consistently positive and engaged approach to their development, and it’s been encouraging to see their confidence and skills build over time. We made a conscious effort to choose a course provider that delivers meaningful value, as we wanted the process to be genuinely useful and engaging.”
This approach ensures that training is not only theoretical but directly applicable to real-world technical service environments, particularly in handling sensitive medical and laboratory equipment.
Collaboration and Continuous Improvement in Technical Services
Collaboration is central to Hugo Technology’s service model. Teams work closely across departments to ensure:
Efficient device/systems repair and refurbishment workflows
Compliance with OEM specifications and quality standards

For apprentices like Glen and Callum, this collaborative environment makes learning practical, measurable, and aligned with business outcomes.
