EX-STUDENT SHOWS GREAT PROMISE AT SWALE SCAFFOLDING LTD.

Paul Ward, Managing Director of local firm Swale Scaffolding Ltd. and ex-student of Richmond School recently sent us some excellent news about another ex-student of Richmond School, Alex Walton. Over to Paul:

“The photo shows Lea Jones, one of our Senior Contracts Managers, presenting Alex Walton with his scaffolding tools ahead of him starting his scaffolding apprenticeship course in the next couple of weeks.

“Alex started working with us in October 2023 and from day one has really impressed everyone at Swale Scaffolding Ltd. In fact, only a few days ago a Site Manager went out of his way to report to our company how well Alex was working on his site demonstrating  fantastic enthusiasm with his tasks, a good understanding of health and safety and a great work ethic.

“Since joining the Swale Scaffolding team over five months ago Alex has never been late for work or had an unauthorised day off. Alex is truly going from strength to strength under the tutelage of our apprenticeship scheme and is proving to be a great asset.

“We would like to take this opportunity to offer our sincere thanks once again to all at Richmond School for providing our company with yet another outstanding candidate.

“Hopefully there will be more young people from Richmond School coming to Swale Scaffolding this summer.”

Paul Ward and the team at Swale Scaffolding Ltd. have always been great supporters of Richmond School, as well as being long established local employers. As Paul mentions, a good number of Richmond School students have progressed onto apprenticeships at the company, with great success. Thank you to Paul and his team for giving Alex the support and skills he needs as he starts his career in scaffolding. Congratulations to Alex for making such a strong and positive start at the company – I’m sure he won’t be the last Richmond School student they see!
