Our Apprenticeships are designed to support individuals with no prior knowledge of our industry or our business and give them the skills they need to become a really valued colleague.

You will also be involved in face to face customer service on the trade counter.

What we are looking for:
When it comes to your existing skills and experience, personality is the first thing we look for.  You will be given all the training and support needed to gain the technical skills. You will need to have great interpersonal skills, be quick to learn and used to working accurately at pace.
