She said: “This is a lovely opportunity for a business administration apprentice to join our very friendly and established team at our head office in Telford, where we provide central support to our 20 plus national offices.

“They would be trained in all aspects of business administration, with support from Telford College, and we are so looking forward to welcoming new fresh talent and enabling them to grow, learn and develop.

“The apprentice will be encouraged to be a full part of the team and be proactive and contribute to decision-making.”
