A huge congratulations to Reece, who has officially completed his 4-year Carpentry & Joinery Apprenticeship and is now a fully qualified tradesman!
Throughout his apprenticeship, Reece has shown real commitment — balancing hands-on experience on site with over 43 weeks of college-based learning, including Advanced Craft.
His final Skills Test brought it all together: a detailed portfolio of his workplace achievements and a timed practical challenge that tested every bit of skill and precision he’s developed along the way.
His journey mirrors the quiet, purposeful work of our Mason bees – carefully preparing for the moment they emerge from their cocoons, ready to take on their role in the wider ecosystem.
Reece’s success is not only a personal milestone — it represents another step forward in ‘The Apprentice and The Bee’, our project linking skilled growth and sustainable succession.
From nest-building to joinery, success is built on preparation, perseverance, and pride in the craft.
Well done, Reece — your future in the trade has just taken flight!
