‘I started at Swale Heating in June 2011 as a Call Centre Operative. I then chose to do a plumbing apprenticeship with Swale Heating, and I have progressed through the business and now work as a Service Engineer. I really enjoy working at Swale Heating and the support I have received throughout my training from the team has been exceptional.’

It’s been a pleasure to grow under their leadership and with the hard work I have put in, I have been recognised and rewarded’
