Award Winning Apprentice Helps Morfitts Put The Finishing Touches To New Offices
Monday, 30th April 2007
100 years since it was first established in Headingley in 1907, local building services company Morfitts has just moved to impressive new premises on the second phase of the Colton Mill Office Park, east Leeds, as part of its strategy to develop and invest in the future of business.
To mark the move the company’s two Divisional Directors, Stephen Fletcher and Paul Baldwin, invited their award winning craft apprentice Ian Heeley to help them prepare the traditional brass lettering bearing the company name, ready to mount above the new office door.
Ian, age 23, has been with Morfitts since August 2002 and recently qualified to become a Service and Maintenance Engineer with the company. At the beginning of the year he was named Outright Winner in the Heating and Ventilating Contractors Association Yorkshire Region Training Awards and was short listed to go forward to the National Training Awards in London.
The new 6000 sq ft building will act as the main office for the company, which employs 87 people from the local area, including over 60 directly employed and fully qualified operatives, many of whom have been with the company since starting their apprenticeships.
