Econ Group proudly supports demolition apprenticeship schemes in London and Southern region. The industry requires more qualified operatives, we have already seen a major gap in the skill set with 20% of current workers due to retire within the next ten years.
We believe in making the key investments required today to help the works force of tomorrow. Everyone should be given a chance to have a successful career in the demolition industry. We help young person’s make that step into the industry for the first time.
We work closely with key clients to ensure they are educated in the correct manner and gain the right level of experience over time. We look to have experienced operatives’ mentor them along the way.
Apprenticeships for other trades in construction are common yet it is still very hard to find a college or business to take on young bright people to become the next generation of demolition operatives or field service engineers.
We believe there is no one better to deliver these type of training courses than the people who have been in the industry both in the past or present. All instructors hold the correct teaching skill set required by UK legislation.
“We believe in the operatives of tomorrow today, we want to play our part as a responsible and professional business in the UK” – Operations Manager – Liam Moore
If you have a passion for demolition and would like to know more about the apprenticeship schemes that are currently running across the region or any of our training courses, please contact us on: enquiries@econgroup.co.uk
Orpington Maintenance Delivery Unit have been utilising Econ’s Services since the commencement of the new Environmental Services contract in October 2021. Since mobilisation Econ have provided our DU with a very efficient and professional service. The customer service and contract team are very friendly and approachable. I use the services of Econ primarily for Non-Emergency call outs which includes both general litter picking and fly tipping jobs as well as larger and more complex waste issues. Every job that I raise is acknowledged and responded to within a quick timescale. Following the completion of each job, I receive a signed completion certificate including photos and detailed commentary. Similarly the period payment reporting is issued on time with full back up information for ease of reference. This enables us to identify jobs and authorise payment quickly. I can strongly recommend the services of Econ who have improved the levels of service previously experienced and assisted our team with the resolution of a number of more difficult and costly cases on our patch.
