Pearce awarded for its dedication to developing apprentices

Published on 4 August 2022

With a long history in producing apprentices, we are delighted to have been awarded Large Apprentice Employer of the Year.

Our hard work in developing apprentices is clearly seen as half of our staff are current or former Pearce apprentices. Our commitment has been recognised in Petroc’s Apprenticeship Employer Awards. The awards reward the exceptional work and results of employers and apprentices who work alongside Petroc.

Pearce Construction Apprentices 2022

We are very proud of our apprentices

In receiving the honour, Managing Director, Paul Knox reflected on how his career started as an apprentice with the company.

“We are extremely delighted to receive this award and be recognised for our hard work in developing apprentices. We are very proud of our apprentices, and we have an embedded tradition around apprenticeships, as we have always tried to grow our own people, allowing them to develop from within. I discovered this for myself when I was given the opportunity to join as an apprentice whilst studying finance at the local college. From that initial opportunity, I worked hard, took all the opportunities presented to enable me to progress and then three years ago I became the Managing Director”.
