Super Six Anderson Apprentices Sign in to Learn on the Job

A new cohort of groundworkers are getting stuck in with one of the leading contractors and developers in the East of England.

Six new recruits to the Anderson Apprenticeship Scheme, which is in its 18^th year, have joined teams at some of the company’s biggest developments – including its multi-award-winning project at Faversham Lakes.

They include 18-year-old Kieran Tattersall, from Harwich, Keegan Clark, 16, from Ingatestone, Alfie Ball, 16, from Clacton and Harvey Wright, 17, also from Clacton – all on groundworks.

Dominic Sloan, 18, from Ashford in Kent and Jack Cox, 17, also from Ashford, are training as bricklayers and are both based in Faversham.

Training Manager Steve Hammond said: “As usual we are thrilled to welcome some new fresh faces to the programme and look forward to watching them develop exciting careers within the business.

“We are extremely proud of our apprenticeship scheme which grows from strength to strength and has allowed us to continue to build the business from the ground up. We have high hopes for this new group – the super six.”

Kieran Tattersall, who has joined the team at Mistley, said: “I applied for the apprenticeship because I’m really interested in the technicalities of the job and want to learn to drive machinery.”

Jack added: “I am really enjoying the physical side of the job and an apprenticeship means I can earn a bit of money while at college.”

Dominic is following in the footsteps of family members who are also in the construction industry. He said: “Apprenticeships allow people to start working from a young age and it’s a great way to learn while you earn.”
