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.
