Trainees Help Deliver Maintenance Service

Construction trainees at Enta are receiving essential on-the-job training thanks to a new maintenance partnership between the Birmingham social enterprise and city-based Arkade Property.

Enta launched its Construction, Landscape and Maintenance Service in February and the team has enjoyed a great first year, including a high-profile project to renovate the city’s Northside Welcome Centre.

Continuing this strong start, Manager Jude Quigley has now agreed a deal to provide maintenance support services to leading Birmingham sales and lettings agency Arkade Property, which manages flats, houses and commercial properties across the West Midlands.

Under the agreement, Jude accompanies Enta's construction apprentices to oversee jobs, with the trainees carrying out the repairs, wherever possible. These range from fixing damaged lights and replacing locks, to carpentry and plastering services.

This approach allows Enta to provide young trainees with the essential skills and experience needed to secure sustainable employment. With one in five young people out of work this has never been more pressing.

Sarah Napier from Arkade Property said: "Enta have been excellent, always responding quickly and completing jobs to a high standard. Our landlords are pleased with the low cost and the tenants remark on how friendly they are."
