This year we’ve had a whopping 12 trainees start at Acorn Analytical, embarking on a new career in our interesting industry, where your work really can make a huge difference.
Some joined the fold at the beginning of the year, and some only joined our ranks a few weeks ago.
The three trainees that began in March – Noah Woodward, Thomas Mackie and Brodie Johnstone – have already earned their stripes, working through the necessary exams to become fully fledged asbestos consultants.
This trio are a perfect example of how personal and professional growth is part of the daily routine here at Acorn, and we encourage all our learners to refine their talents and think creatively in the world of asbestos consultancy.
Autumn intake
In the last few weeks, another five new trainees have kicked off their careers with us.
Latest learners Liam Wood, Lewis Dawes, Casey Pickerill, Haidyn Ashley and Neil Howes have all settled in well and are already picking up vital skills for the trade.
Haidyn and Casey are trainee asbestos consultants, and the remaining trio of Liam, Lewis and Neil are trainee surveyors.
Local lad Liam has always shown a great interest in the trainee role and is already working his way through the necessary exams, with his P402 booked for later this month.
Neil has been part of the team for eight weeks and is already thriving in his new career.
Lewis enjoys being on site and says he learns something new every day: “I feel like I am achieving every day, and I am thoroughly enjoying my training. Since starting, my attitude has just been to try and be as proactive as I can be and help in any way I can to relieve any stress or extra workload from the other surveyors I have been with.
“I am never shy to ask a question or to ask how to be shown how to do something. I want to be looked at from the people around me as someone who is thriving to excel in my role and someone who is taking his work very seriously. So, off the back of this, I really hope to first pass my CSCS test and then my 402 exams.”
Casey is the brother-in-law of Acorn Analytical Services analyst Ellis Bastable and joined the team just two weeks ago, but he has already received fantastic praise for his eagerness to learn.
Haidyn, who came into the interview with a great energy and had obviously really researched the role, said he’d already learned a lot on the job. He said: “You should expect the unexpected and if you’re thinking twice, sample it.”
Willingness to learn
The trainees we started the year with have been fantastic, and their attitude towards learning the role has really paid off as now they are qualified asbestos consultants.
It is fantastic to now have a new bunch ready to learn the ropes. Their attitude and willingness to learn fits our culture perfectly and they have settled into the team really well.
The whole team are looking forward to watching their journeys with us here at Acorn.
