Jones Building Group

We are currently constructing a new greenhouse at St. Margaret's CEVA Primary School Tintinhull using recycled timber and plastic bottles. Two of our operatives have built the frame, and the school has provided us with excellent feedback so far. They commented, “The two workers that you sent were very helpful and polite. They were a pleasure to work with and represented Jones’ excellently!” Although it's a small build, the greenhouse will make a significant positive impact on the children and their learning environment.

Feedback Friday 🤩 Praise given to our operatives Cian and Alfie from a resident after external works were completed at their property. #FeedbackFriday #jonesbuildinggroup

As National Apprenticeship Week comes to a close, we’re excited to highlight one of our talented painting apprentices, Tommy ⭐️ Before joining Jones at our Cornwall office, Tommy studied at Callywith College and is now working towards his Level 2 Painting and Decorating qualification at City College Plymouth. Tommy sees his apprenticeship as a strong foundation for his career, equipping him with essential skills for future opportunities. Learning both on-site and in the classroom has not only helped him develop hands-on expertise but also deepened his understanding of the construction industry, including crucial health and safety practices. #NAW2025 #jonesbuildinggroup

Yesterday, we attended the annual Apprenticeship Fair at Yeovil College, giving a presentation and taking questions from school leavers looking to take their first steps into a rewarding career, to mature adults looking to change direction and join the construction industry. Such an important event during the National Apprenticeship Week. During the evening we engaged with students in the local area to discuss how vital apprenticeships can be for building a skilled workforce. Many prospective students showed interest into our work and our former apprentices were on hand to discuss their personal experiences and provide more information on what we have to offer. #NAW2025 #jonesbuildinggroup

Meet Catherine Sluggett ⭐️ Catherine is currently completing her Level 2 Painting and Decorating Apprenticeship through CTSW Training Centre. Catherine is a former student of Roseland Community School and has enjoyed learning the skills for the trade, the methods and styles of decorating, and doing something that I'm passion about and really enjoy. Her favourite things have been developing speed at rolling a gable wall and surprising mentors at how quickly she completed it. Also, within a month making significant progress on her aversion to heights. #NAW2025 #jonesbuildinggroup

Did you know we also support office based apprenticeships? We have two wonderful Business Administration Apprentices at our head office, Caitlin & Megan, who are currently undertaking their NVQ Level 2 Customer Service Practitioner through Yeovil College. Caitlin, former student of Westfield Academy, joined us in September 2024 and works in our Property Services Department alongside former apprentice Libby. Caitlin's favourite thing about her apprenticeship is being able to deal with customer queries and hearing how grateful people are when she has worked with them to overcome a problem. Megan, former student of Preston School, joined us in May 2024 and works in our Purchasing and Fire Safety Departments. Megan enjoys her apprenticeship as she believes she has grown as a person and has become more confident when dealing with colleagues and customers. She has worked in many of our departments which has given her a breadth of knowledge on the construction and business world. #NAW2025 #NationalApprenticeshipWeek #jonesbuildinggroup
