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

Our Client is extremely pleased at the way we, supported by Econ, have dealt with the situation. From the moment you confirmed that notifiable asbestos was present, a focused, concerted effort has been made by Econ to deal with the problem. The client was impressed at the speed in which Econ tabled a strategic proposal to the HSE to remove the asbestos, working 24/7 non-stop, to expedite the removal. The fact that the proposal, including approval by the HSE, was achieved in such a short timescale is credit to Econ. The proactive approach, while being flexible and accommodating to allow key ECR staff to work in a safe, isolated contained area, has really impressed the Network Rail team.
