Stephen, pictured, is a great ambassador for GCP’s Pre-apprenticeship Programme,
‘I work two full days a week and often have lunch with other Members at the Grassmarket Centre too. There’s something fun and new every day. I love that we work with recycled wood and get to practise with it. We make so many varied things.’
