Employer Description:
Phoenix Brickwork started life in 2010 in Belper, Derbyshire. The first project was a garage extension valued at £4,600. By the end of the first year of trading, Phoenix had turned over in excess of £1million. Phoenix’s core values have not changed since 2010. The emphasis has been placed on the health, safety and welfare of staff, high quality of workmanship and solid client relationships, rather than on profit. As a direct result of this, Phoenix’s reputation has grown and they now turnover in excess of £15million with many of the clients and original workforce still working with Phoenix to this day. The Phoenix Apprenticeship Programme was born in 2014 and has seen many students from different regions progress through their training, with a high proportion deciding to stay with the Company post qualification. Phoenix prides itself on the quality and loyalty of staff and sub-contractors alike. They strive to provide a professional and safe place of work for all, with every individual given the opportunity to better their existing skill set via regular training courses and continued professional development. Phoenix employs in-house trainers with CIEH qualifications so that training can be tailored and delivered around business requirements, and before UKCG recommendations become mandatory requirements.
