Persimmon Homes Midlands has donated bricks to Northampton College to enhance hands-on bricklaying training for aspiring construction workers.

The housebuilder's Midlands team provided the materials to help students build practical skills essential for a career in the industry.

The bricks are already being put to use, giving learners real-world experience as they prepare to enter the construction sector.

Darren Knox, Contracts Manager at Persimmon Homes Midlands, recently visited the college to meet learners and staff, seeing first-hand how the bricks are being used and the skills students are developing.

Joshua Cass, Technician Demonstrator, Northampton College said: "We are extremely grateful for this generous brick donation from Persimmon Homes. It has enabled us to start rotating some of the older bricks and give our full-time students a fantastic opportunity to use brand new bricks as they would do on site."

David Ablett, Managing Director at Persimmon Homes Midlands said: "We're pleased to support Northampton College and the next generation of construction workers.

"We're only too happy to help learners and apprentices hone their skills as they train, and we hope these materials play a small part in that journey."
