Testimonials and Success Stories

Starting my Level 2 trade supplier apprenticeship has given me a better understanding of how the industry works. Along with guidance from my Foreman in the yard, I'm starting to learn what products we stock and how they can be used. I'm looking forward to moving onto the counter next.
