EYG gives leading role to apprentice Luke

COMMERCIAL GLAZING specialist EYG has given one of its apprentices a leading role in the business.

Luke Drewery has been handed a key role in the Hullbased firm’s modular sales team, a growing area of the business which has more than doubled its sales target over the past 12 months. The 20-year-old started his business administration apprenticeship with EYG through YH Training two years ago.

“I’m thrilled to have been given this chance, especially given the success in the department over the past 12 months in which some excellent relationships have been established with customers and the department has performed well beyond targets,” Mr Drewery said.

He added: “It is obviously a challenge for me given the business has done so well over the past 12 months, as the expectation is now to not only maintain the work levels but build on that success and drive further growth. I like a challenge though and am always happy to back myself to do well.”

Commercial director Steve Swallow says the modular market is a key focus for the business and he believes that Mr Drewery will repay the faith EYG has put in him.

He added: “Apprenticeship programmes are all about giving young people the chance to learn the skills they need to advance in a business and forge successful careers, but they need the businesses they are with to be prepared to give them responsibility and a chance to prove themselves.”
