AUGUST 2023 | MEC Investment in Apprenticeships | Edinburgh

West Craig, Edinburgh | Cruden Building
​

Marshall Errock Construction in conjunction with Cruden Building in Edinburgh are delighted to announce and introduce our new Apprentice Mr Sam Anderson; promoted with Local Community Benefit with our client, CRUDEN’S
 
Since inception of M.E.C. Ltd in August 1983, we have consistently year on year had an “investment in youth policy”.
 
This we have a philosophy of “investment in the future”, as our youth…. are our future!

In the past 40-years of trading, we have successfully invested in apprentices, and at Oldham College had the accolade of our apprentices being awarded “apprentice of the year award” (for our Bricklaying and Stone Mason apprenticeships, which was no small achievement given the award was meant to be across all trades); for 9-years out of 12-years that the College ran that particular scheme.

​My own boss back in 1975, when I set out on a journey and a career in the Construction Industry, as a Bricklayer and Stone Mason, relayed “once you have a trade” you’ll never be out of work!
 
Never a truer word said;  as demand for good quality bricklayers and stone masons will only ever be on the increase in coming years, and we feel at MEC (a view shared by Cruden), that it is imperative (for all the Construction Industry), to promote, encourage and invest in Apprentices.
 
A warm welcome on board to Mr Sam Anderson, and wishing him every success and to fulfil his potential to join the elite ranks of Tradesman Bricklayer for many years to come.
 
Hearty congratulation and good luck from all at MEC and Cruden Building.
 
Mr Paul G Errock
(Co-Founder and current Managing Director of Marshall Errock Construction Ltd)
