Where it started, How it's going!

Hewitson Limited approached Derwentside College looking for support to recruit new Groundworker Apprentices.

Today, those successful candidates are visiting the College for their employer induction before officially starting their apprenticeship journey.

What's made this partnership special is Hewitsons' commitment to supporting young people and investing in future talent, giving local individuals the chance to develop valuable skills and build rewarding careers in construction.

We're proud to have worked together to make it happen.
