Why choose an NG Bailey apprenticeship?
Kick-start your career with us!
At NG Bailey, we know the opportunities apprenticeships can create, the value they bring to a business, and how they are helping to shape the future of our industry.
We welcomed our first apprentice in 1934 and continue to train and develop apprentices over 90 years later.
Apprenticeships are open to all who meet the entry criteria, no matter what your age or background, often making an apprenticeship the best option if you’re looking to change your career or upskill your role.
Our industry-leading approach develops the behaviours, skills, knowledge, and experience our apprentices need to build a successful career. We work in partnership with a national network of colleges to offer some of the best training in the industry.
As one of our apprentices, you will be fully supported throughout your programme with us. Our Early Careers team make sure you get the best out of the business, and the business gets the best out of you.
We are also a member of The 5% Club and join a select group of companies committed to increasing the number of apprentices and graduates in the workforce.

Meet our apprentices
As an apprentice, your role incorporates a variety of different tasks, activities, and projects, so it’s likely that no two days will be ever the same.
By working with different departments and people across our business, it allows you to gain a better understanding of what we do, develop the skills and qualities relevant to your role, and build key relationships with others.
We’ll let some of our current apprentices tell you more about their daily activities, the advantages of an apprenticeship, why they chose an apprenticeship with us and what advice they would give to applicants:
