Oscrete adds new apprentice

Construction chemical supplier Oscrete is boosting its team with the appointment of a new materials and testing apprentice. 

This is the first full-time job for Rennison Forrest-Parkinson since he left Guiseley High School, and he now joins Oscrete’s laboratory team. The 19-year-old has already gained construction experience after shadowing a construction site manager and undertaking work experience at a local construction firm.

Rennison said: “I have always been interested in construction design and build so made a point of securing as much work experience as I could during my GCSE years which took me from the design stage of construction through to being on-site seeing projects coming together.

“Oscrete is a really forward-thinking company which goes even further back in the construction process by creating the chemicals and the products which ensure concrete products are created to the highest quality and strength. I’m looking forward to learning a new side of the construction industry, to building new relationships in this sector and to developing my skills with a Level 3 Materials Technician qualification.”

Oscrete director Scott Wilson added: “We are delighted to be welcoming Rennison into the Oscrete team. His ambition, energy and passion for making a difference in construction really shone through and we are looking forward to watching and nurturing his development as he works alongside our growing team.”

West Yorkshire-based Oscrete is one of the UK's leading specialist construction chemical suppliers, manufacturing a range of concrete admixtures for the pre-cast and ready-mix market and developing and supplying additives for the manufacture of dry bagged mortars and adhesives.
