Blenheim housebuilder welcomes new apprentices 

Blenheim Estate Homes and Pye Homes have welcomed five new apprentices to the team, as part of Blenheim Palace and Estate’s goal to train more than 100 apprentices by 2027.

Learning a range of trades, including bricklaying, carpentry and plumbing, the apprentices will follow a 24-month Blenheim Estate apprenticeship programme, which could lead to full-time employment with the Oxfordshire housebuilder.

Dominic Hare, Blenheim CEO, said: “The Blenheim Estate apprenticeship programme is something I am immensely proud of. We are helping young, local people learn and develop skills and set them up for a blossoming career. 

“Our apprentices are some of our best people, and they are also injecting a new lease of life into the veteran staff who are being given the opportunity to teach their trades to a new generation.

“The passing down of skills, principles and practices is a vital part of building not only a legacy which anyone can be proud of, but also a community which improves the quality of life for future residents.”
