Graham showcases young workforce  

Graham’s Building North division is set to welcome 17 trainees onto formal apprenticeships in August and September. 

The company now has circa 60 young people (aged 16 to 30) working within the region, who are either studying or have completed their studies. 

Members of Graham’s young workforce are spread across a range of disciplines, including engineering, site management, building services, commercial, design management, planning, pre-construction, estimating and support services. 

The Building North division is also supporting young professionals through its Young Persons Forum, which brings colleagues together to engage with each other and help drive change across the region. 

Debbie Rutherford, social impact manager for Graham’s Building North region, said: “Our young people are vital to the continued success of our business. That is why it is important that their voices are heard, and that their thoughts, feelings and ideas are used to deliver changes throughout the Building North region, making a real difference.  

“I am delighted that our Building North Young Persons Forum continues to grow and thrive. Our Young Persons Reps are truly inspiring, and the passion of the group is driving positive change."
