About Hull College of Further Education

Our client is a leading UK distributor and fabricator of façade cladding, building boards and fire protection products. They supply contractors and installers across the construction industry. They have been established for over 25 years, and in Hull for over 20. They stock the major cladding brands, cut and shape panels in-house, and deliver straight to site with their own fleet.

They are a relationship-led business with a supportive, experienced team, and they have taken on apprentices before. This role is the start of a long-term career, not a short-term placement.
