On Monday 8th July, Matt, Holly and former student Kyle Heath attended the Inspirational Sparks Event at Mary Webb School and Science College in Pontesbury, Shropshire.

The day entailed year 8 students rotating around multiple different businesses, asking the representatives questions about their job role, what they enjoy the most and how they got into the industry they are in. Shingler Group represented the construction sector, and Kyle spoke with the students about his journey after leaving school.

 Kyle joined Shingler Group in 2023 as a Construction Apprentice and is about to start his level 2 carpentry qualification at Shrewsbury Colleges Group alongside an evening bricklaying course. Kyle’s interest in construction began when he accompanied a family friend on a carpentry job, who encouraged him to apply for an apprenticeship with Shingler Construction. He is now working on our sites around Shropshire and is loving learning on the job and working with the team on site.

If you’re a school leaver looking for a career in construction, apply to our 2025 Apprenticeship intake today by contacting: holly.tarbuck@shinglergroup.co.uk
