Andy Cam and Todd Glister are joined by business owner James Broadbent to talk about his difficulty taking on a second year apprentice, aged 21, because of the recent increase in minimum wage. James talks about his experiences with five previous apprentices, what he's done to find a new candidate, being inundated with applications and where he feels more support for contractors should come from.
