I joined the industry straight from leaving school when I was 16 and undertook a joinery apprenticeship with F. Parkinson Ltd. After completing my joinery apprenticeship, I continued to work on site while undertaking a HNC in construction. After completing my HNC, I was afforded the opportunity to take on a new role working as a trainee estimator in the Manchester office. After completing an internal training plan, I was successfully promoted to my current role as construction estimator working for the same company I started with back when I was 16. What a journey!

I am now also National Co-Chair of G4C which I joined because I feel our industry, especially the apprenticeship route, is undervalued and I wanted to give the next generation a voice and showcase how wonderful construction can be. In my role as Co-Chair I hope to showcase how important the next generation is to the future of our industry.
