INVESTING IN OUR FUTURE

BUILDING ON THEIR CAREERS. INVESTING IN OUR FUTURE.

18th June 2021

In September 2019, Alex Martins, Jannai Mason-Dennis and Zak Scarborough joined Galliford Try as technical apprentices. Not only was this in support of our commitment to the framework’s Legacy charter, it was an opportunity to help young people build a career in construction, all while investing in our future and that of the wider industry.

After two years of juggling their personal lives, work, and study, all three have successfully completed their Level 3 Construction in the Built Environment NVQ, and in doing so, have brought new ideas, enthusiasm, and ambition into our business. Now firmly entrenched in the world of construction and enjoying the variety and opportunity it brings, Alex, Jannai and Zak have accepted places on our Trainee Management Programme as they now work towards their Level 4 qualification (HNC in Construction Management).

“Galliford Try is a great company – they really care about their employees and I have been provided with opportunities to develop my skills through education and exposure working on interesting projects. The team has been so supportive throughout my two-year apprenticeship, and I’m really looking forward to this next step.” Alex Martins

“It’s not often we get the opportunity to host an apprentice in preconstruction, and I have to say, it’s been so rewarding to see Alex grow as an individual. He has an exceptional work ethic and a real flair for construction. He’s become such a valued member of our team and we can’t wait to see where the next two years will take him.”
