Humber based Wren Kitchens announces further 100 vacancies for 2022
During National Apprenticeship Week, Wren Kitchens scales up its apprenticeship programme to offer opportunities in several areas of the business located in the Humber and around the UK.
The UK’s largest independent kitchen specialist is continuing to grow at an “unprecedented rate” with 8,000 team members under its wings. To support its growth, Wren is currently seeking over 100 apprentices to join the Wren workforce by the end of 2022.
With no experience required in the field, there are brand-new 2022 apprenticeship opportunities in customer services, catering, and HR. As well as current vacancies in IT, finance, engineering, and manufacturing.
Once Wren’s apprentices pass, they are guaranteed a permanent position at the end of the programme which entails a mix of on-the-job training alongside specialist training partners and a variety of interactive training courses.
Victoria Fairbairn, Wren Kitchens people and performance director, said: “Our apprentices are truly joining Wren at the most exciting time in our history, as we continue to rapidly expand in the UK by doubling our capacity with the new factory, and across the Atlantic, in America, as we open several new showrooms across the Northeast.
“We believe in growing our Wren family in-house, as we create an amazing pool of talent that can grow with us as we continue on our hugely successful journey.”
The company’s new kitchen manufacturing facility in Barton-upon-Humber, North Lincolnshire, is located next to Wren’s headquarters. Opening this year, the 1.2m sq ft site has created 1,200 new jobs in manufacturing, transport, engineering and head office support roles such as HR and recruitment.
Jesse Grant, Wren Kitchens process administration junior apprentice, added: “I feel like I’ve come a long way in such a short space of time thanks to everyone’s support. I’m excited to see where my future takes me here at Wren, as there are so many exciting opportunities to progress and make a difference.”
