Lanes Welcomes First-Ever Apprentice Cohort
Lanes Group has welcomed its first-ever cohort of apprentices, marking a significant milestone in the company's commitment to developing the next generation of talent.
Twenty-three apprentices have joined teams across the business in roles spanning Operations, HSEQ, IT, Human Resources and ESG. The programme has been designed to provide hands-on experience, professional development and long-term career opportunities across a range of business disciplines.
As one of the UK's leading drainage and wastewater solutions specialists, Lanes recognises the importance of investing in future talent to support both the continued growth of the business and the wider industry's skills needs.
Beginning Their Lanes Journey
The apprentices began their journey with a two-day induction programme at the University of Warwick's Warwick Conferences venue. The programme introduced them to the Lanes business, its people and its commitment to delivering essential services for customers across the UK.
As part of the induction, apprentices took part in leadership sessions, team-building activities and a site visit to one of Severn Trent's operational facilities, providing valuable insight into the critical infrastructure and services that support communities every day.
Investing in Future Talent
"Welcoming our first apprentice cohort is a proud moment for Lanes Group. Apprenticeships play an important role in developing the skills, knowledge and talent that will help drive our business and industry forward for years to come. What excites me most is seeing so many talented young people choose to begin their careers with Lanes. Through this programme, they'll gain valuable skills, experience and support while making a real contribution to our business from day one."
Creating Long-Term Career Opportunities
The launch of the apprenticeship programme reflects Lanes' long-term commitment to creating meaningful career opportunities and supporting employees at every stage of their professional development.
By investing in apprenticeships, Lanes is helping to build a skilled workforce equipped to meet the challenges of the future while ensuring the business continues to deliver the high standards of service its customers rely on.
As the apprentices begin their careers with the business, they will benefit from structured learning, practical experience and ongoing support from colleagues across the organisation, providing a strong foundation for future success.
