A total of 12 new apprentices in Bradford have joined the latest intake at G&H.

The new recruits will begin fully funded, on-the-job training at the mechanical, electrical, and public health service provider, working towards a professional qualification over the next three to five years.

The scheme combines hands-on training with academic study delivered by partners including Leeds College of Building, Bradford College, Luminate Education Group, and Choice College in Dagenham. Paul Churchill, development manager at G&H, said: “Attracting, training and retaining the next generation of employees is key to the future viability of G&H and the wider construction industry.

“Each year, through our apprenticeship scheme, we attract the best talent, with many students remaining with the firm long after they have qualified.

“Welcoming the new cohort is a highlight of my year and their eagerness to learn and enthusiasm is great to see.”

The apprentices will gain experience across a range of roles, including business administration, mechanical, electrical, heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC), project management, service and maintenance, and accounts.

Isabelle Bartram, a business administration apprentice, said: “I applied for the apprenticeship at G&H because I wanted to build a solid foundation for a long-term career in a professional, fast-paced environment.”
