APPRENTICE PROFILE

Joshua has worked for Woodlands Commercial Ltd for the last seven years. For the first two years, he worked as a labourer when one day quite by chance he was assigned to work assisting a plasterer. From that point on he has never looked back, and on picking up his hawk – the flat board plasterers keep their plaster on – and trowel, discovered his true passion in life.

Joshua has regularly competed in SkillBuild and WorldSkills competitions while an apprentice at West London College, which look impressive on his CV.

Joshua says:

"I first learned everything I knew about the trade from someone with over 40 years of experience and I became a really good plasterer. “When I started my apprenticeship, I found out I had a lot more to learn!”
