Whether you’re fresh out of education or seeking a meaningful career change, finding the right plumbing and heating apprenticeships can completely transform your future. At PH247 Plumbing and Heating, we might just be the employer you have been looking for to kick-start your journey.

Forget everything you have experienced or imagined about traditional industry apprenticeships. We are a lean, forward-thinking employer, determined to be a breath of fresh air. We are completely dedicated to providing positive direction, modern training, and real opportunities for our apprentices.

We want to make a positive difference in the lives of as many people as possible—and that extends to our workforce as well as our customers.

The Future of the Plumbing and Heating Industry

After decades of stability, the plumbing and heating industry is now in a precarious position. It is becoming outdated and has struggled to attract and engage with the next generation of engineers. As a result, the sector is suffering from the effects of an ageing workforce. Every year, more plumbers and heating engineers hang up their adjustable spanners, leading to a severe national skills shortage.

But where there is a problem, there is always an incredible opportunity!

It is clear to us that the industry needs to change to attract dynamic, forward-thinking individuals. We are determined to fill that skills gap by offering high-quality standard and degree-level plumbing and heating apprenticeships. In return, we—and the industry as a whole—will thrive on your fresh new ideas and innovation.

With the rapid creation of new smart-home technologies and a change in consumer mentality to embrace eco-friendly living, there is an urgent need to reboot and realign the sector. If you, like us, are excited by this challenge, you could be a perfect fit for our team.

Real Opportunities: The PH247 Approach

Although we are highly committed to supporting young people entering the trade, we also recognise the immense value of life experience. We will never discriminate on the basis of age, background, or any other category. A positive, flexible attitude is what we are truly interested in.

Our Company Director, Louchavan Lemard, knows exactly how life-changing this trade can be. After leaving school with no formal GCSEs, he used the lifelong skills learned in the industry to completely transform his life, becoming a successful business owner by the age of 35. He firmly believes that the trade offers a prosperous, bright career path with opportunities left, right, and centre.

We actively practice what we preach. Currently, our business operates with 10 dedicated engineers and 3 apprentices working side-by-side. We have seen firsthand how a dedicated apprenticeship scheme can give someone a renewed purpose in life.

What to Expect from Our Plumbing and Heating Apprenticeships

When you join our team, you are not just making the tea. You are stepping into a hands-on learning environment designed to build your skills from day one.

Honesty and Truth in the Information Age

In the modern internet age, customers can access all the information they need at the click of a mouse. They can easily find out what a plumbing or heating job entails and whether they are getting value for money. They can compare quotes from dozens of companies in seconds and will share their experiences in a flash over social media.

We are committed to total transparency, not only because it makes good business sense, but because it is the right thing to do. This includes helping our customers educate themselves via cost-saving advice, DIY help, eco-friendly tips, and fun facts. We practice what we preach, too. Not only are we a completely paperless company, but we also have a strict goal to be carbon neutral by 2030.

Clear communication is central to how we work. We will never make anything more complicated than it needs to be, and we always prefer plain language and straight-talking over confusing industry jargon.

An Inclusive Recruitment Policy for Future Engineers

This upfront and honest approach extends directly to our recruitment policy. We have no hidden agenda as to who we want and do not want working with us. Your social class, educational history, ethnic background, age, or gender make absolutely no difference to us. We recruit for our plumbing and heating apprenticeships strictly on the basis of attitude and a shared commitment to our core values.

Our track record backs up our words. Not only have we been recognised as a top employer at the regional level, but one of our apprentices was also presented with a national award by the Secretary of State for Education at the House of Commons!

We actively employ CITB apprenticeship ambassadors who are there to put our team forward for recognition at every opportunity. If we hire you, you will be given every possible assistance to develop and flourish in your career.
