Apprenticeship Week Celebration! 

Today, we’re excited to highlight and celebrate our newest recruit, Frankie Legge, who embarked on his electrical apprenticeship journey in September 2024. While we initially faced challenges with Frankie’s preferred college due to delays in his placement, we didn’t give up. After working hard to find a solution, we were thrilled to secure Frankie a spot at Carshalton College, despite the longer commute.

Frankie is incredibly grateful for the support he’s received so far. Though the journey to college is a bit of a stretch, he feels it’s worth it, and we’re so proud of his determination. Big thanks to Andre P. for his unwavering support in helping us secure Frankie’s place at Carshalton College. Frankie started his studies there in January 2025, and the college has been great in ensuring students catch up on missed studies during the Easter break.

Frankie has connected well with his new tutor and classmates, who are all supportive and working together as a strong team. It’s inspiring to see how far he’s come, and we’re excited to watch his progress. A special thank you also to Olek @Capital Electrical Contractors for providing Frankie with a fantastic mentor. Frankie has expressed that his mentor does a great job ensuring he learns, builds confidence, and encourages him to work independently. We’re proud to support Frankie on this exciting new path and can’t wait to see what the future holds for him!

Looking ahead, Anita Louise Collopy will be working closely with Carshalton College this year, encouraging more students to pursue apprenticeships across various trades and helping to educate parents about these invaluable career pathways. This initiative is close to Anita’s heart, and she’s passionate about creating more opportunities for students in this space. Let’s continue to support the next generation of apprentices!
