  1. Hi
    I started as an apprentice building estimator 51 years ago. I started in the estimating department to progress to buying department,planning, surveying.
    It was hard work but interesting. I started with a salary of £3.00 per week. I had a job working in a market (12 hour day at £4.00 per day) which I had to give up as my new employer worked Saturday morning.
    I had one day per week at college plus 2 attendances at “night school”. Plus course work (homework).
    Initially the early days I used to do the post and other basic tasks. But as I progressed I began to enjoy my work enormously. I continued to take CIOB exams which I passed. I am retired now but I can say in all honesty that I have enjoyed immensely my working life.
