Apprentice Scheme

Initiative has reaped rewards for 17 year old Jack Ashworth from Grange, who made enquiries at the Wardgroup Head Office regarding possibilities in Painting & Decorating apprenticeships. His timing couldn’t have been better as the Painting & Decorating department had just decided to recruit.

Jack was given a work trial and impressed sufficiently to be offered an apprenticeship. He has now been placed with a senior decorator to teach the trade and has made the type of progress never witnessed in the department. After only 6 months he is able to wallpaper a room on his own to a high standard and has learnt techniques which can take years to master.

Jack loves the trade and is destined to be a top class tradesman and should be an asset to the company for many years to come.
