We recognised excellence.

Every month we recognise 1 apprentice and 1 trainee who have gone above and beyond in their training so far, and who are living our KAEFER values.

For February 2026, to mark National Apprenticeship Week, instead of choosing the usual 2 winners, we decided to choose 10! Well done to all of our winners:

• Luke Dean, Transport Apprentice
• Casey Thomson, Upskilling Trainee, Supply Chain Team Lead
• Ellis Maitland Price, Thermal Insulation Apprentice
• Edgar Stankevic, Thermal Insulation Apprentice
• Harrison Surtees, Apprentice AP Clerk
• Oliver Frost, Scaffold Apprentice
• Brooklyn Dennis, Scaffold Apprentice
• Declyn Dennis, Scaffold Apprentice
• Stephen Hall, Scaffold Trainee
• Craig Redhead, Scaffold Trainee

A Parent’s Perspective 

Are you a parent helping your child to explore post-school options? Did you know apprenticeships offer a valuable alternative to the academic route?

We encourage any parent at this pivotal moment in their child’s life to watch our video and hear what KAEFER Painting Supervisor Derek Breckenridge has to say. Derek’s son, Rory, is following in his Dad’s footsteps and embarking on a Painting apprenticeship with KAEFER.

Apprentice & Trainee Feedback

We regularly check in with our employees to ensure they feel heard and shape our emerging careers pathways.

In a recent survey we were delighted to hear our apprentices and trainees felt supported at work and would recommend us as an apprentice and trainee employer based on their experience.

We picked one respondent at random to win £50! Congratulations to Callum McLauchlan #YourVoiceCounts

(From responses received up until 03/02/2026)
