New apprentices welcomed to Haringey contracts with EQUANS

Three new apprentices welcomed under our Haringey contracts, thanks to partner, Embassy Site Services.

So far, in 2022, we have recruited five apprentices under our contracts with Haringey, and in May, the latest three were officially welcomed to the team.

We've worked closely with our supply chain partner, scaffolding and roofing experts, Embassy Site Services to offer these opportunities and when EQUANS' Social Value Manager, Julian Sanz, and Embassy's HSEQ specialist, Seb Lik, held interviews, earlier this year, three candidates stood out!

Derrick, Ramzan, and Haydon all impressed, showing commitment, enthusiasm, and an eagerness to learn and progress - as a result, they were all offered positions as apprentice scaffolders.

Julian commented: "We currently employ around 600 apprentices across our business in varied roles, and we're known in our division for our commitment to offering varied apprenticeship roles, providing excellent experiences and support. In turn, we benefit from attracting some genuinely amazing young apprentices and Derrick, Ramzan, and Haydon are no exception."

None of this would be possible without the support of our supply chain partners, like Embassy Site Services, who are committed to helping us deliver our social value commitments. Promoting diversity in the workforce, developing youth, and supporting local employment all contribute to levelling up communities.

The three new apprentices will benefit from gaining a qualification, learning 'on the job' from experts in the field, and will be paid the London Living Wage.

"With the huge skills shortage in the construction industry, it's more important than ever to invest in youth and especially in local people. EQUANS will be taking on a total of 22 trainees and apprentices in Haringey in the next year alone." Paul Jennings, Divisional Director, EQUANS
