Testimonials

Ashley has been with AGGORA for the past 3 years working on small low-risk jobs and working towards his fully competent Engineer sign-off.

“Ever since being a child I’ve always liked fixing things and seeing how stuff worked. This started from smaller things to then my bikes and skateboards. I just knew I’ve always wanted to do something hands on with work and saw this as the perfect opportunity.

The reason I chose an apprenticeship is because I like the idea of learning while also getting paid to do so alongside. Being in an apprenticeship gives me the real-life work experience I need that is also desired by a lot of companies when hiring. Completing an Apprenticeship gives me more of a chance of a secure full-time job at the end of my learning.

Aggora is a huge company that I knew was very successful in the industry. I also knew with Aggora I would have a secure job with loads of benefits, with a friendly atmosphere. With the recent merger with Bunzl, Aggora would only get bigger”
