Benefits

We've invested in our apprentices since 2005 and we're committed to keep investing so you’ll benefit every day.

Over the course of the next three years, you’ll be learning a great deal both at the training centre and on the job. You’ll also be taking home a decent salary, which has the potential to grow as you gain more experience. In your first year, you’ll be paid £8,400 + £1,150 when you successfully finish the year; the salary will rise to £11,750 in the second; and £14,000 in the third.

In the first year, we will also feed you, pay for your accommodation and provide the clothing and personal protective equipment that you need – including safety boots, cargo trousers and a fleece. There are plenty of holidays: 28 days plus bank holidays in total. Again in your first year, your leave is planned for you and we pay for you to travel home for long weekends and Christmas, Easter and summer holidays.

It’s also important to bear in mind our wider company benefits, such as discounted train travel to work. The pension scheme is also very good; and while this might not seem important to you now, it could mean so much more to you in the future. After all, we want you to go on to make a successful career here with us after you complete your apprenticeship.
