    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.
