Continuing on with National Apprenticeship week, we wanted to celebrate the amazing work of our apprentices on site. We caught up with bricklaying apprentices Oliver, Riley and Thomas to discuss their development on site with Phoenix.
Oliver - "I'm currently working onsite at Derby Hospital. I’ve really enjoyed working on this job. It’s been challenging at times but I’ve managed to overcome this from help from the lads around me. I’m currently working towards the end of my apprenticeship and have a few months left before I’m fully qualified , I’m looking forward to progressing after I qualify. I remember when I first started my apprenticeship; I had 0 skill now I feel confident in my abilities."
Riley - "I like working for Phoenix because on site you meet new people everyday and learn something new. I’m becoming a better bricklayer each day. my aim is to become an even better bricklayer so that I can pass on my skills that I’m learning with the quality bricklayers that are teaching me at Phoenix"
Thomas - "I’m currently working on the Kingsway Hospital job in Derby. I’m really enjoying my time on this site as it’s given me the chance to expand my variety of skills. Brickwork, block work, lintels, core holes, insulation dpc. I’m three quarters of the way through my apprenticeship. I’m looking forward to completing it and the challenges it will bring. I’m also really pleased that my hard work and commitment has been recognised as I have been nominated for the ABC brick awards later this month."
We would like to thank all of our apprentices for all their hard work and dedication on site. Keep up the good work!
