National contractor Interserve has pledged its full support behind National Apprenticeship Week (NAW).

Taking place this week, 03-07 February, NAW is designed to celebrate apprenticeships and the positive impact they have on individuals, businesses and the wider economy.

Interserve is dedicated to supporting its workforce to deliver best-in-class services to clients, with apprenticeships forming a key part of this. The firm currently employs 624 apprentices and offers apprenticeships that range from entry level roles for those taking their first steps into a career, through to higher level professional schemes available for colleagues to upskill and progress.


There are a wide range of apprenticeship programmes including: engineering, construction management and opportunities within business functions such as IT and finance.

Lynn Mawdsley, Managing Director of Interserve's Support Services division, said: "We know that investing and developing future talent supports our business to grow and succeed.

"More than 130 people joined us though our Early Careers programmes during 2019 and they know there's the potential to grow their careers with the company because there are people in our senior management team who first joined Interserve as apprentices.

"Interserve is a diverse organisation where you can bring your ideas, enthusiasm and passion to help us achieve our very best."
