Apprentice In-Touch Day - a warm welcome to our new starters
We were delighted to host our Apprentice In-Touch Day- a fantastic opportunity for our new apprentices to meet each other ahead of their official start, ease any first-day nerves, and get a real feel for life at Tamdown.
The day kicked off with a fun icebreaker quiz to get everyone talking and laughing – the winner took home a £50 Amazon voucher!
Following the quiz, our apprentices heard from several Tamdown directors, who gave an engaging overview of the company, our values, and what they can expect from their future with us. A standout moment was Rob Kendal’s inspiring story of his own career journey through Tamdown, complete with a brave reveal of his first CSCS card photo! It was a great way to help our apprentices feel welcomed, inspired and part of the team from the very beginning.
Our existing apprentices joined them for a relaxed buffet lunch which gave everyone the chance to chat informally and share their experiences with tips on balancing work and college life, preparing for exams and assessments, and making the most of their apprenticeship.
The feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, with all the apprentices saying they now feel more confident and excited about starting their journey with us.
A huge thank you to everyone who helped organise the day and to our current apprentices for being such brilliant ambassadors.
We’re excited to support and encourage our new apprentices as they begin this exciting chapter!
