Holly, now an assistant surveyor, began her career with us through our Level 4 trainee programme.

From the moment she joined, she found a welcoming team and an immediate sense that this was a place where she could build a meaningful future.

Her route into the industry wasn’t a lifelong plan but a discovery sparked by work experience. It opened the door to a higher apprenticeship where she could learn, earn and grow simultaneously.

What stands out most in Holly’s story is how much she has grown personally. She talks openly about the confidence she’s gained, her improved problem‑solving skills and the pride that comes from seeing a project take shape in front of her.  

For anyone considering an apprenticeship, Holly is clear: just go for it.
