To celebrate National Apprenticeship Week, we spoke to Morgan one of our talented apprentices to see why he chose the world of work over full time education. Morgan is part of our workshop team assembling windows and doors as well as carrying out glazing. Here’s what he had to say.
Why did you choose an apprenticeship over full time education?
I wanted to learn skills for life rather than sat in a college.
What does a typical day look like for you at ERW?
I am busy manufacturing windows and doors, using my bench joining skills. Every day there are new orders and products to make on the production line.
What do you enjoy most about your apprenticeship?
I like learning new skills and having good banter with the lads in the workshop.
What do you hope to achieve once you have completed your apprenticeship?
I really want to have a career at ERW and continue to work with the lads here. I really enjoy it!
What advice would you give the other school leavers who might be thinking about an apprenticeship?
Definitely try to get an apprenticeship, you won’t regret it!

Just a quick note to say how fantastic the men were that came to install the windows, they were very polite and friendly and have done a great job. The windows look brilliant and I am very pleased with them.
Ms E, Redcar
We had our door fitted yesterday and we are thrilled with it!!
Thank you so much for all your help with the design process. We felt very well supported with this major purchase. You guided us sensitively and listened to what we wanted. And now we have our design and are very happy indeed
Mr & Mrs Robinson, Stockton
As in all things, there is no substitute for quality. Excellent product connected to a work ethos of ‘only being as good as your last job’ ensures continued quality of service, hopefully, to an ever expanding customer base.
My door is a visual ‘daily delight’. So pleased that I found my way to your factory door.
Mr Taylor, Billingham
All the staff at ERW have been utterly amazing – from the start of the project, from the general enquiries, to the fitting and installation . I couldn’t recommend this company high enough !
Thank you all so much!
A. W-T, Morpeth
