Brookhouse Lays the Path to Recruitment

Ex-armed forces trainees manoeuvre into a new career with full time job offers thanks to the help of gas training specialists Brookhouse Training.

Peter Dean, Craig Saunders and Shaun Hammerton, all ex military, have secured full-time jobs after passing the New Entrant Multi-Skilled Gas Engineer Course to become gas engineers.

The three trainees benefitted from a mentoring partnership between Brookhouse Training and New Market based The Heating Company Ltd, Hyde Housing Association, and Wiltshire based Ultra Warm Ltd whereby trainee gas engineers complete a 30 day on-site programme to complete a portfolio of evidence - a mandatory requirement to become a qualified Gas Engineer.

Peter left the marines after nine years of service and is now working throughout Cambridge, Newmarket, Bury St Edmunds and Ely as part of the heating company’s team of qualified gas engineers supplying services to homeowners, landlords, letting agencies and commercial organisations.

Craig Saunders left the Army after seven and a half years service and is now working for Portsmouth based Hyde Housing Association where he will be part of the home improvement team maintaining and installing new boilers.

Shaun Hammerton left the Army after seven years and is now a full-time employee at Ultra Warm Ltd working throughout Wiltshire, Bath, and North Somerset delivering servicing, maintenance and installations of both domestic and commercial heating and hot water systems.

Peter Dean says: “Brookhouse Training was spot on, it’s professionally run and they fully supported me and my future goals. The Heating Company offered me a full-time job, which I accepted, and I’ve even been recommended for a pay rise!”

David Dumaresq Lucas, Director at Brookhouse Training says: “We’d like to thank the mentoring companies for providing our training candidates with these wonderful opportunities to start a new life and further their careers in a field they feel they have a real future in.”
