Fernco invests in the next generation with its apprenticeship programme

Fernco continues to champion young talent as they welcome Declan Taylor, Apprentice Marketing Assistant. Leaving college at 18, like many others, Declan wasn’t sure about his career path. Still, with a year in retail behind him, he joins Fernco as a full-time marketing apprentice, which will see him gain a Level 3 qualification in Digital Marketing. Declan shares his thoughts: “I left college in 2021 and didn’t know what I wanted to do, so I decided to take a year out. At the time, I worked in retail and was just getting fed up with not learning. Then I started researching and found a real passion for digital marketing. I started looking at apprenticeships, and that’s when Fernco came up. It’s honestly the best decision I’ve ever made. Everybody has been welcoming, I couldn’t ask for any more. The variety has been great, and I love working in an office environment. I’m learning so much and feel like my career is really underway.” Declan joins Jacob Pashley as the second apprentice to join Fernco in the last few months – a reflection of an ambition to grow its apprenticeship program and to bring through the next generation of talent. Ryan Lockwood, Marketing Manager at Fernco and is working closely with Declan. “We’ve been really impressed with Declan’s attitude and already he has made a big impact. His attitude is impeccable, and he has a genuine desire to learn. Fernco is a great place to learn – we’re a growing team with lots of creativity, and I have no doubt Declan will thrive amongst this talented team of marketing professionals.”
