Which company do you work for?

I work for Granger Building Services and they are roof sheeters and cladders.

What are the good bits about your job?

What I like about my apprenticeship is working outside. I like when summer comes and you can work outside in the sun when it's nice and warm. I also like being able to turn my hand to metalwork when I'm outside of work. It's a good skill to have.

Why did you choose this career?

I chose my apprenticeship because I left school at 15, I finished my exams and I couldn't get a job, so I started working with my uncle. But it wasn't full-time so I kept applying for different jobs and then I saw an apprenticeship come up for the Commonwealth Apprenticeship Initiative. I'm really enjoying it.

What do you do day-to-day?

I'm currently working on the Glasgow Velodrome at the moment. I'm moving on to the cladding after I finish this. I'm obviously at college at the moment but I finish off tomorrow, back onto cladding next week when I get a wee shot at it!

What's the coolest thing you've done so far?

The thing I'm most proud of has got to be working on the Glasgow Velodrome because it's such a big, high profile job that's always on the news. It's good because I work next to Celtic Park as well and that's my team!

Where do you see yourself in 10 years?

In ten years time I see myself still working in roofing. Maybe abroad like Australia as abroad there's a lot better money in my trade. After my apprenticeship I'm going to be doing my NVQ.
