It has been a delight to have Dex Allen with ourselves over the past week from neighbouring Ormiston Forge Academy on work experience. Throughout his week we have endeavoured to provide Dex with a taste of what it is like to work in construction, shadowing and assisting all the major disciplines which make up our team such as; planning, estimating, buying etc. Dex also undertook several site visits with our health and safety team providing an insight in to life out on site. We were amazed by the enthusiasm shown by Dex throughout his time with us and his keen interest in the construction industry. From everyone at A&H Construction we wish Dex all the best as he heads into Year 11 and undoubtedly, we will keep in regular contact. Here is what Dex had to say about his work experience placement with us:

I was given the opportunity to complete my weeks work experience at A.& H. Construction & Developments PLC.

My week started off with me being introduced to the staff, that are based in the offices on Coombs Road. I completed a risk assessment before heading into the office, to start my day of taking an Inventory of equipment, tidying and filing.

On my second day, I had the privilege of being allowed to visit two sites, that are currently under construction. I attended site with the Health & Safety Advisor, who explained what hazards and risks were present on a construction site. Whilst on site, I was able to speak with the site managers and witness the works taking place.

Throughout the rest of the week, I have been able to spend time in various departments, completing orders under supervision, filing orders, sitting in meetings with suppliers to see how they meet the need of the company. I was also given the opportunity, to create spreadsheets for planning to be filled out when jobs are completed.

My week was rounded off nicely by meeting Barry Adams (the Managing Director) who told me all about the history of A.& H. Construction & Developments PLC and how it was founded.

My overall experience was a very enjoyable one, learning all about how commercial construction company is run, the different stages and jobs that are needed to complete a successful build and to fulfil the client's specifications to their complete satisfaction.

Thank you to all the staff who made me feel so welcome and all those that spent time with me and gave me an insight into a career in construction.
