Even though he’s done the work to the standards, they have now said that he needs to work quicker. They have also said that he will be working on his own soon and also will be on call out. But...

    Being Slow at Work - Advice for an Apprentice.

    I think you are spot on with this. At the end of the day someone is paying for a job. Just because someone with more experience has said it should take two days doesn’t mean someone still learning the job should take the same amount of time. The saying of good work isn’t cheap and cheap work...

    Being Slow at Work - Advice for an Apprentice.

    I was speaking to one of our Apprentices today who has been with us just under 3 years and is coming to the end of his apprenticeship.

    Tin Snip Recommendations

    I’m looking to buy a decent set of Tin Snips, mainly for cutting ceiling grid. Rather than drilling it when fitting cables etc for CCTV. I’ve heard that Gilbow are Old School but that they are really good. But I’m also interested in other recommendations. Thanks
