By September 2024, Dalton Roofing will have seven apprentices, with three in their second year of their course, and four beginning their apprenticeships this year.
Company owner Philip Dalton said: “We are so proud of all our apprentices – each of them has their own story and we’re glad to be playing our part in growing their skills, and growing them as people as we help build their careers.
“Here at Dalton Roofing, we understand that the construction sector needs fresh talent to drive our industry forward into the future. Without skilled people, the places we work, live and play in wouldn’t be built – so it’s vital to showcase how great our sector is to work in, and this is reflected by the fantastic achievements of our current apprentices. We’re excited to watch them grow and develop further in the coming months and years.”
