Flash trucks ,Flat wages .But if you get a licence go for it .Use them as they use us . 
I wouldn’t have put the words “flash” and “Fowler Welch” in the same sentence…

Fleet spec tackle 5 years max age, well maintained, English as second language.
Anyone know what they are paying while you are still their apprentice? Mate of mine is desperate to get his licence but would still need 17-18k that he is getting in his current job to cover his bills at home.

Well it is just over minimum wage for the top lads .so expect a lot less .They can pay you below minimum rates as an apprentice …

This opportunity offers a newbie a way into the industry to gain some c+e experience – if done for say 24 months, then would that not be a good approach? The alternative being to go knocking on doors asking for work?
I appreciate that the job details do not mention a salary or the tie in period following the apprenticeship etc. but it is a way to get some experience?

A two year apprentice? which has the superb incentive of working for £7.50 or less for that time, to then go onto the massive £8 odd they pay .
It is a weeks course, and most decent firms give new passes a start and the same money as long term guys …

+1. Stop looking for an easy route all the times folks, pay for the CE yourself. If you can’t afford it straight out, get it on a 0% credit card deal or have a word with PS or something.
Get door knocking and put some effort in. (And stop bloody working for pennies 
) Start on pennies, stay on pennies.

The job details say the apprenticeship is for 12 months - I was then assuming they would at least expect the person to remain for another 12 months.
As some post on here, that they cannot get work on artics due to the two year experience issue, I was thinking for that reason alone it might work for some.
