I had an excellent visit to LCMB Building Performance in Adderbury.
I was hosted by Managing Director John O’Brien who founded the company in 2009 with the aim of helping his clients by transforming their buildings into more productive, efficient and sustainable workplaces. John now employees a team of 16 people from all over the world including apprentice Dom Hayes who I was pleased to meet during my visit.
Dom went to university but soon found that it wasn’t for him. He transitioned to a degree apprenticeship and has never looked back. Dom travels down to London South Bank University on a Monday and works at LCMB the other 4 days of the week.
Degree apprenticeships are a brilliant way to obtain a degree qualification, while earning and gaining real world experience on the job.
