Work placements for three local students

Two high school pupils, Max Hodgson and Jacob Hegarty, spent a week with us for their work experience as pictured above on the left. Max attends Tarleton High School Jacob is at All Hallows High School in Penwortham.

The 15 year olds were given the opportunity to experience working in the construction industry, helping with their career decisions. Spending time in all departments across the business, the Year 10 students both found using the surveying equipment interesting and enjoyed learning about the structural steel elements found on site at our Longridge High School project.

Sarim Hussain is a T Level construction student from Preston College, gaining knowledge and experience from our Longridge project.

As part of his two year course, Sarim is required to undertake 308 hours of work placement which count towards his final qualification. Visiting site at least once a week, Sarim, pictured above on the right, aspires to further his career in the construction industry and enjoys his time spent with our team.

Our client’s responses

” John Turner has won a number of tenders at Edge Hill University and has been consistently successful in completing high quality projects, on programme and on budget. “

” I would like to express our sincere thanks and appreciation to your entire team who were responsible for delivering such a successful project. We would especially like to recognise the dedication and commitment your team gave the project which was completed with minimal disruption to our hospital functions. ”

” The project has been a real success and this is due to the professional and well organised manner in which John Turner’s staff conducted themselves. There was excellent communication with a priority for safeguarding the pupils and staff at all times. “

” It is extremely refreshing to know that the enthusiasm, professionalism, dedication and humour is still available in the right proportions to make things happen in the construction industry. What is most pleasing is that at all times, the requirements of the Client and Church of England Pensions Boards as the end-user was paramount. Collectively, we have achieved completion on time, a building within budget and in some areas exceeded the client’s expectations. “

” Just a line to express my thanks and appreciation of your sterling efforts to secure the completion of this project within the agreed programme. I am impressed by both the attitude and approach of your organisation. Thanks once again on behalf of my colleagues and the clinical staff with whom you developed a true spirit of co-operation under difficult circumstances. “
