30 Ardmore Opportunity Enfield
Govind Singh, 24, Stoke Newington (above) Carpentry apprentice completing NVQ level 2 I found out from a friend who was already doing an Ardmore apprenticeship. I started with the company in 2013 after sending an email and [in reply] they invited me to an opening day. Through that I got to meet Eillish [Kwai], who is in charge of apprentices and getting them into jobs. She helped us progress forward. I have got family members who have been in the building industry, but I thought I’d do my own thing – which is carpentry. Being an apprentice, you meet different people, and everyone is willing to help you. If you’re doing something wrong, they’ll point that out. You learn from your mistakes. The sense of achievement happens when a big project all comes together; it’s teamwork. When you work together, anything can happen. One man can’t come overnight and create a building. Maybe one day I’ll set-up my own business when I have more experience and build up all my own contacts. Why not?

Calvin Joseph, 27, Hackney (above) Trained electrical apprenticeship and full-time employee at Ardmore sub-contractors, Trinity I got into Ardmore as there was a job local to us in Pembury Circus, and I heard about it through my friends’ mum. Being an electrician was something I had looked at about three years before, but never really followed-up on. But once it presented itself again, I thought ‘I can’t miss it twice’. Being an apprentice – I started with Ardmore in 2013 – is a mixed experience. Getting up in the morning to be on site for 7am can be tough. Then there are other little aspects you could always gripe about, but what does it all mean? To be honest, if you bend your routine anyway, you can accommodate anything. The best thing so far has been opening up my own company. In May, I registered Shock and Aura, which is going to be about lighting mood. Even with registering my own company, I’m going to stay with Ardmore as I’m still learning a lot. But, obviously the dream is to run my own ship. I’d recommend doing an apprenticeship to others, particularly if you’re just leaving school, because you don’t know where life is going to take you. You can do one aspect then move on to the next. Eventually I want to design and going through this route opens doors. You do feel proud about the work you do. It makes all the early mornings, cold mornings, all of that stuff, worth it. When you’re looking in here, at Ten Trinity, you think ‘you know what, I was part of this’. When I walk past with my wife, or mum I can say to them “I put up the lights outside”. You can see what you have done, and it’ll be there for a while, because sometimes people work and it’s fleeting and if you put something that has longevity behind it, then you can say to yourself “I’m here to stay”.
