Two North East young people have clinched their dream job after fending off 118 other hopeful applicants to be the National Trust’s first ever apprentice joiners in the region.
Ashley Coulter, 21, and Daniel Charlton, 22, are working with the Trust four days of the week on building and conservation tasks. On the fifth day they are studying for NVQ levels 1-3 in joinery at Northumberland College, Ashington.
Ashley and Daniel are based at the Trust’s regional building department at Wallington, Cambo, and are carrying out a variety of building maintenance tasks on historic properties such as Lindisfarne Castle, Cragside and Gibside.
Ashley and Daniel are writing a diary of their work with the National Trust. You can stay up to date with their progress by taking a look at their internet blogs:
