Office apprentice Eleanor Collins, who works in the administration department at Redrow’s divisional headquarters in Tamworth, was highly commended.Įleanor, 23, who attended Stockport School and Stockport College, said: My goal for the future is to one day move into management.” I’m proud of myself and what I’ve achieved. Being named apprentice of the year shows that I’m a keen worker. “I’ve really enjoyed learning new skills and putting them into practice on site.

I wanted to do something where I could learn and get a trade. When I left school I went to college and did some plastering and bricklaying, but hadn’t done any groundworks before I applied for the apprenticeship. Robbie, who attended Telford College of Art and Technology as part his apprenticeship, said: “I’d definitely recommend an apprenticeship to people leaving school. Robbie, 20, has now finished his apprenticeship and has been taken on by MV Kelly but is still working at Redrow’s The Coppice development in Telford. Tamworth-based Redrow Homes (Midlands) named groundworks apprentice Robbie Bromley as the apprentice of the year for the region.
