Three of young tradespeople have been shortlisted to win the Novus Property Solutions Apprentice of the Year award.

Novus Property Solutions, an award-winning maintenance, refurbishment and new build contractor, help develop successful painters, decorators, builders and managers, and three of its apprentices have been shortlisted to win the Novus Property Solutions Apprentice of the Year award.

Shortlisted apprentice candidates 

The three shortlisted apprentices are James Riley and Luke Mulliner, third year painting and decorating apprentices based at Novus’ Wrexham office, and Reece Jones, a third year multi-trade apprentice from Birmingham.

Reece was chosen, along with James, to represent Novus Property Solutions on humanitarian trips to Slovenia in 2014 and 2015, and all three Apprentice of the Year candidates have taken advantage of the many unique opportunities that being a Novus apprentice opens up.

James Riley: “As apprentices, we can see the clear career progression available to us at Novus, because so many of the company’s managers and directors started out in the same position we’re in now. We know that hard work and dedication to every single part of our jobs can lead to something great in the future. That’s what being an apprentice is all about.”

The winner of the 2017 Apprentice of the Year award will be an ambassador for Novus during 2017.
