Supporting Apprentices, Employers and Training Providers Across Construction and the Built Environment

Committed to Measurable Impact

Thordor was founded by Torben Prestwich, a construction education and apprenticeship specialist with over 30 years of experience within the built environment sector.

With extensive experience in apprenticeship assessment, EPA preparation, quality assurance, and employer engagement, Thordor supports learners and organisations across construction and civil engineering programmes through practical, industry-focused guidance and professional support.

Torben, I’ve just been going over the data for this year and next and wanted to take a moment to say how glad I am that you are here for us and our apprentices and you should be so proud as this is a complete turnaround from what we picked up. You are something special and it is recognised.”
