- We want to find ambitious, hard-working individuals with a strong desire to succeed. You will be paid a competitive Apprentice salary starting at £17,065 *pending 2024 pay review. You'll also be eligible for our internal bonus scheme, as well as any company-wide pay increases that are offered during this time.
