Background
Joey’s interest in a trade career came from his desire to work in a hands-on profession. After exploring different options, he chose plumbing and decided to start an apprenticeship with Asbury – a decision he’s more than happy with!
Current Role
No two days are the same for Joey. One day he’ll be servicing a boiler, the next fitting pumps, or even installing huge cylinders. He’s tackled everything from massive commercial boiler rooms to small homes, swapping out boilers and cylinders of all shapes and sizes. This hands-on experience has given him a deep well of knowledge he’ll bring with him as he finishes his apprenticeship.
Skills Developed
Now in his final year as an apprentice, Joey is close to completing his four-year programme. He’s already earned his plumbing qualifications and is now focused on obtaining Gas Safe registration, which will improve his expertise in boilers and gas installations. Joey is a big believer in continuous learning – “every day is a school day”, in his words – and he plans to keep building on his knowledge even after his apprenticeship.
Company Culture
Joey values the supportive environment at Asbury. He credits Tony, the lead engineer, as a fantastic mentor who consistently pushes him to learn and grow. The team atmosphere extends beyond work hours, with team outings for go-karting and meals solidifying the strong bonds within the company.
Future Aspirations
In five years, Joey envisions himself as a fully qualified commercial engineer, Gas Safe registered and hitting the road in his own van. The apprenticeship programme has equipped him with the skills and knowledge to achieve his goals and carve out a successful career in the field.
Advice for Aspiring Apprentices
Joey wholeheartedly recommends an apprenticeship in commercial heating engineering. While the four-year commitment may seem long, he believes the rewards are definitely worth it.
