Providing work opportunities within our projects

Within our Goldsmiths University Contract, we employed a young worker called Harry as an apprentice.

We strive to provide opportunities within projects that we undertake.

As such, we offered Harry the chance to gain valuable experience through his involvement in our University Contact. 

Testimonial

"I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity to work as an apprentice at Scrubs Contract Services. As an 18-year-old, I was unsure of what career path to take and lacked practical skills in the industry. However, the team here has provided me with invaluable training and experience, allowing me to develop my skills and knowledge in the construction field. Not only am I gaining valuable experience, but I am also being paid fairly for my work and feel supported by my colleagues. Thank you for investing in my future and providing me with this incredible opportunity."
