My role is so enjoyable because I talk to real people every day and help them to solve a problem – Evolve is a people business and that really shines through. I’ve also had the chance to experience some really interesting projects and visit some cool places.

All the advice and guidance I’ve received through my apprenticeship at Evolve has helped me to develop the skills and confidence I need to set me on a positive path for the future. In a relatively short space of time, I have become one of the most knowledgeable people in my area, and people now come straight to me with questions about it.
