Here at Wrights Roofing we have been involved with the development of young people for many, many years.

In January 2023 we were delighted to be recognised as a key investor in a new construction department at Newark Academy.

Jason, our Managing Director and founder of Wrights Roofing said “The reason I got involved is that as a local company we were struggling to get apprentices and, not just apprentices, but the right calibre apprentices.

“If a local business like Derry’s or Gusto wants to take on a youngster, this is on their doorstep.

“For me as a company, it’s creating a lasting legacy, which then creates this conveyor belt of talent coming through, and that’s what we’re trying to achieve here, albeit in a small way.”

The project will teach and develop a number of skills to the students and provide a direct link to the industry, including post-16 apprenticeships.
