Westleigh inducted ten apprentices to start on site during September and October with these individuals receiving a warm welcome to not only the company but also the industry.

To ensure our new intake receive an effective and informative start on our sites they attended safety training awareness at college, this was taken further at our head office where they also received the CITB “safe start” induction.
