I spent 5 years teaching and assessing apprentices. If you need any help or advice feel free to drop me a message. I still stick by the same theory. If they turn up on time. Don’t spend all day on their phone, are keen to learn and polite then anything else is a bonus in the first 6 months. If...

Yes thanks. Really helpful. Thanks Angie

Yes if I’d known when I’d joined there was a MikeG I wouldn’t have done mikeg and I’ve tried to change it but can’t! 🙈

I always say the same thing in my head when I’m working on houses like this ‘good old tradesmen’!!
