A new cohort of groundworkers and bricklayers have joined M. Anderson Construction sites this quarter.
The team of seven are the new recruits to the M. Anderson Construction Apprenticeship Scheme which is in its 20th year.
“We have a long history of helping people to develop career paths from the ground up and are thrilled to welcome some new fresh faces to our sites this year.
Our apprenticeship scheme has grown from strength to strength, and we enjoy seeing all our new starters flourish as they build on their skills and training throughout the programme.”
Training Manager, Steve Hammond
Joining the team

Kai Williams, 16, from Chelmsford, is now based at Witham. He said: “On this apprenticeship scheme you get paid more than the competitors which is a bonus. I wanted a hands-on job, and this will be perfect.”
Alfie Talbot, 17, from Southend on Sea, is training at Rochford. He said: “Apprenticeships are attractive to people my age because they allow you to earn while you learn. I’m looking forward to learning how to operate machinery.”
