Scaffolding and industrial services giant NSG UK is showing its commitment to training young people by taking on a new trainee manager.
Rob Geddes, 23, will be based at NSG UK’s Deeside headquarters, learning the ropes under the mentorship of Managing Director Mike Carr.
Rob, from Rainhill, was previously self-employed with his own e-commerce business.
He said: “This is a great career move for me and I am looking forward to learning everything about the business, from a bottom to top approach. I have joined a very ambitious firm and it is my aim to gain as much experience and get as high up the ranks as possible.
“There is so much to learn but I have been working closely with Mike, general manager Tim Walker and compliance manager Howard Satchell, who have been in great in answering my questions and offering lots of support. To start with I will be doing a lot of ad-hoc project work, administration and also going out to get on-site experience of NSG’s services.”
Rob added: “I left the University of Liverpool in 2009 with a Geography degree and set up my own business in car detailing. It was through this that I met Mike Carr, NSG UK’s managing director, and I am thankful that he saw management potential in me and invited me to join the business as a trainee.”
Mike Carr said: “Rob has shown an enormous amount of dedication to learning about NSG UK and has really thrown himself into all aspects of our business. He is a well rounded young man who we want to nurture into a future leader of the company. As well as spending time at our Deeside office Rob will go out on site to learn about the practical side of what we do.”
NSG UK is a leading provider of scaffolding, painting, blasting, thermal insulation and building repairs, with over 40 years of experience. It has continued to thrive throughout the recession, winning new business and retaining key clients.
Mr Carr added: “NSG UK is fully committed to investing in young people both as part of our Corporate Social Responsibility and our plan to develop a new generation of skilled scaffolders, supervisors and managers. We currently have two apprentices working at our Runcorn site and have been engaged in an innovative training and apprenticeship scheme with the Shrewsbury House Youth Club in Everton since 2010.”
