New apprentice
The Window Company (Contracts) has appointed James McGuire as its newest young apprentice.
James will benefit from a structured training programme leading initially to an NVQ Level 2 in fenestration, with the aim of becoming a fully qualified fitter within five years.
Managing director Rob Petre said: “We have spotted great potential in James so we’re supporting him to establish a worthwhile career with us, learning every aspect of the job from yard to site.
“As everyone in the construction industry knows, it’s increasingly difficult to recruit skilled labour so the obvious route is to increase the number of apprenticeships on offer and train our own teams.”
20-year-old James is working initially in The Window Company (Contracts)’ yard at its headquarters in Chelmsford, with additional time spent with his mentor and out on site.
