Heavy building materials company Hanson UK is seeking 11 school leavers to join its apprenticeship scheme.

The firm’s Leadership, Education and Development (LEAD) programme offers the first steps towards a career in the minerals sector, as well as the chance to secure industry qualifications.

One of the vacancies is based either at Brayford quarry, near Barnstaple or at Hingston Down quarry near Gunnislake – with experience to be gained at both sites.
