  • 🎓 National Apprenticeship Week: Luke’s Journey 🎓 We know that apprenticeships are about more than just learning - they build confidence, develop skills, and open doors for career progression. Take Luke Hawes, for example. When he joined Plumbing & Heating, he wasn’t sure if an apprenticeship was right for him. But after gaining some experience, he realised it was the perfect opportunity to: ✔️ Develop industry expertise through structured learning ✔️ Gain confidence in his role and take ownership of new ideas ✔️ Learn independently while receiving coaching and support Luke describes his apprenticeship as a turning point: “Before, I would wait for others to suggest ideas. Now, I take the initiative, problem-solve, and work towards making a real impact.” Know anyone who would like to apply for an apprenticeship?

  • 🔧 Great Mental Health Day 🧠 We know the trade isn’t just tough on your body - it’s tough on your mind too. Long hours, tight deadlines, and life’s stresses can pile up fast. That’s why this Great Mental Health Day, we’re reminding everyone in the trade: you’re not alone. 💬 Whether you’re on site, in the yard, or behind the counter, checking in on your mates (and yourself) is as important as the job itself. A simple “You alright, mate?” can go a long way. Take a minute today to check in with your crew. Supporting each other doesn’t just make for better days - it builds a stronger trade. 💪 https://bit.ly/2Uo0xhH

    Exciting news for women & girls in rugby! 🙌 🏉 We’re thrilled to be working with Continental and Kwik-Fit (GB) Ltd on a programme to improve rugby facilities and encourage more women and girls to get involved. In December, Ellie Kildunne, World Rugby 15’s Player of the Year, visited our project with Anchorians Sports Club in Gillingham to check out the progress and lend a hand with the work. It was amazing to meet Ellie, for her to work alongside our young people, and see the reaction from the girls meeting their hero! 💫 The project was co-funded by Medway Council through the #UKSPF, Sport England, Dulux and Travis Perkins, this project is creating inclusive spaces for girls to thrive in rugby. See the full impact of this work doing #SomethingConstructive for women's rugby via the video 📽️
