Network Plus is strengthening its investment in the next generation of commercial professionals with the appointment of nine new apprentices who are set to begin a Quantity Surveying degree programme with the University of Salford.

Over the next three to five years, the apprentices will complete a series of rotational placements across different contracts and departments, gaining the technical skills, commercial understanding and industry experience required to build successful long-term careers.

Designed by Shaun Judge, Head of Commercial, the programme forms part of Network Plus’ commitment to developing future talent and addressing the growing industry demand for qualified quantity surveyors. By working across a variety of contracts, the apprentices will gain first-hand experience of the commercial challenges and opportunities involved in delivering essential infrastructure projects, while progressing towards professional accreditation with the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS).

Commercial Director, Martin Crook, said:

“This is an exciting new era for Network Plus and I’d like to thank Shaun for his passion and attention to detail to lay the solid foundations for the new apprentices to succeed. Please welcome and embrace the team as they transition around the business.”

The programme represents a significant investment in both people and the future of the Commercial function. We wish them every success as they begin their Quantity Surveying journey with Network Plus.
