Last week saw us welcome six new apprentices at Elliotts.


The new recruits, all aged 16-18, will be placed across the Elliotts network covering Ringwood/Fordingbridge, Christchurch, Romsey, Southampton, Tadley and the Sales Hub (based in Southampton).


By working in branches the apprentices will be learning first-hand how a builders merchant operates, including processing orders and merchandising stock.

Mireille Nicholson, HR Manager, says, “We’ve got a strong track record of recruiting apprentices and supporting them to progress. We are very pleased to be welcoming our 6 new apprentices, and we still have opportunities for a further 4 apprentices to join the scheme. We would like to hear from anyone who is interested in starting their career at Elliotts.”


New apprentice, Jack Bailey, who will now be based at the Elliotts branch in Southampton, said, “Working for a company like Elliotts gives me a chance to learn the ropes and find out about loads of different areas. I’ve already met lots of people that have progressed within the company, so I know there are good opportunities available.”
