Spencer said: "After successfully completing my GCSEs, I hadn't decided what I wanted to do.

"I thought about learning a trade so I got in touch with RK Electrical Mechanical Services and was invited for a two-week trial. That went really well and I’m delighted to be joining the team for 10-months.

"I'm looking forward to working hard and I think the time I spend out on the job will benefit me greatly if I am successfully awarded an apprenticeship."

"On completion of the apprenticeship programme candidates will have taken the necessary steps to be qualified as either an electrical or mechanical engineer. Ultimately it is our aim to organically grow the business and create a respected workforce trained to our high standards."

"Here at RK Electrical Mechanical Services we work hard to provide a supportive, creative environment for staff and through our apprentice scheme we hope to demonstrate our commitment to providing the next generation of highly-trained staff to provide excellence in service, budget and time management."
