Apprenticeship LIVE Travis Perkins
National Apprenticeship Week with Travis Perkins
Want to know more about the exciting apprenticeship opportunities at Travis Perkins?
This broadcast focuses on Chris’ journey as apprentices and why he chose an apprenticeship instead of continuing in full time education. The theme for this broadcast was focused on the apprentice experience to inspire students in school and college to look at this route into the workplace.
The live chat is always open next to the video player so feel free to leave us a question or comment and we’ll get it forwarded to the team from Travis Perkins.

Chris Tivey
Assistant Branch Manager, Travis Perkins
I firstly enrolled as an apprentice on the serving our customers apprenticeship in 2017 alongside my role as a sales advisor, from this i picked up many skills not only from the apprenticeship workshops but also from day to day work in the branch.
Coming from a retail background with a sports coaching degree there wasn’t much opportunity for jobs out there given the fact i had little experience despite having the qualifications. This apprenticeship was the perfect opportunity to not only learn new skills but develop them at the same time.
From this course i got promoted to Assistant branch manager at the branch in November 2017. This course was a vital part of my development and helped me make that next step to promotion.
In January 2019 i enrolled for the management apprenticeship programme which will develop me as a leader at my branch and hopefully take me on my next journey as a branch manager in the near future. I have also recently been given the role as Brick Champion for the North west Region, this will give me a huge responsibility for looking after stock and brick matching on a number of big housing projects across the Northwest.
