Why did you decide to become an apprenticeship with Ingleton Wood? My school offered a Design Engineer Construct course which Ingleton Wood sponsored and through that there was an opportunity to apply for an apprenticeship.

What do you enjoy the most about the role? I enjoy researching a site and planning policy; especially more complicated schemes where planning input can help with design, and aid in the proposal’s approval. It is interesting working with all the different parties within the planning process.
