Louise, Apprentice, 2021

“My experience so far working with Castle Water has helped me think more about my long-term career goals. I feel like customer service is a great career path and widens your options further, you gain new skills and face new challenges.

Every day is different, and each customer is different.”

Abbie, Apprentice, 2021

“Through the apprenticeship programme I have been given the opportunity to experience a wider scope of the business than had I just applied for a full-time position. I have enjoyed learning about all the different teams and opportunities within Castle Water, this has allowed me to gain a lot more knowledge about the business.

This has also up-skilled me to progress with my apprenticeship and allow me to find out which area of the business I am best suited to.”

Ciaran, Apprentice, 2020

“I learned insights into the business world, how to interact with co-workers and I got my first full time job. My experiences at Castle Water have vindicated me in my thoughts that an apprenticeship after school is definitely the right way to go. I would recommend this experience to any school leavers.

3 words to describe my Castle Water Apprenticeship experience? Valuable learning experience.”

Ryley, Apprentice, 2020

“The Castle Water Apprenticeship program is great. You gain valuable work experience and an abundance of transferable skills. Everybody here is extremely nice and very supportive.”

3 words to describe my Castle Water Apprenticeship experience? Absolute class time!”
