Davidsons Homes launches Four New Carpentry And Joinery Apprentices new 248-home development for David Wilson Homes at New Lubbesthorpe FIVE STAR Leicestershire homebuilder David Wilson Homes is supporting the future of the industry by welcoming four new Carpentry and Joinery apprentices to its developments. David Wilson Homes East Midlands is investing in local talent with the new appointments of three young apprentices at sites in Leicestershire and one in Nottinghamshire. The new apprentices are all delighted to have all been offered the chance to learn on the job and gain hands on experience and can’t wait to get stuck in. William Woolhouse, Thomas Scobie and William Clark are working across Leicestershire and Jack Giles is working at a development in Nottinghamshire. The apprentices, who range in age from 16 to 21, are all training onsite and will learn new skills in carpentry and joinery with the housebuilder. The new recruits are all studying carpentry and joinery at different colleges close to their homes, which they will attend one day a week alongside their apprenticeships.

DAVIDSONS HOMES has launched its latest collection of homes which will become part of a landmark new community to the west of Leicester. Visitors were given their first glimpse of the new homes being built, as artists’ impressions of the houses and street scenes were unveiled. The Leicestershire-based housebuilder will build 248 homes at Hereswode, which will become part of the wider New Lubbesthorpe development being built on land off Beggars Lane, between Leicester Forest East and Enderby. Stephanie King, Sales and Marketing Director for Davidsons Homes, said: “We’re delighted to be able to welcome visitors to Hereswode and hope that prospective buyers will be impressed by the range of homes we are building here.”
