Meet Declan

"After finishing at St Joan of Arc Catholic School in Rickmansworth, I wanted to follow several members of my family, including my mum into the construction industry. I wanted hands on experience rather than a full time classroom based university course and applied online for an apprenticeship position at Inland Homes in the procurement department, progressing on to study a Level 4 in Construction in the Built Environment."
