Having completed a two-year programme, Adam Sumner, 25, is now working as a trainee assistant site manager in Hartford, Cheshire.

Adam began working in the sales and marketing department at Redrow NW, in Daresbury, in 2018, after studying Business Management and Entrepreneurship at the University of Chester. He then joined Redrow’s Rotational Graduate programme.

It’s one of several training schemes run by Redrow, all of which are designed to inspire and nurture future talent. The housebuilder also runs its own housebuilding degree programme for under-graduates and provides skills training for hundreds of apprentices.

The rotational scheme enabled Adam to experience various disciplines, including land, sales, construction, technical and commercial.

“I opted to go into the build department as this is what I enjoyed the most throughout the department rotations,” said Adam. This involves me inspecting plots at various stages, organising the next stages of build, checking quality and focusing on aftercare for customers who move into our homes.”

Adam is currently working at Redrow’s Water’s Reach development in Hartford, which features new homes from Redrow’s Arts & Crafts inspired Heritage Collection.

“I really enjoy seeing a house taken through to completion and experiencing the customer’s delight when they see their home finished for the first time is a great feeling,” said Adam, who lives in Wigan.

“The transition to the build department and support given from all of the team has been brilliant.”

Jason Newton, managing director at Redrow NW, said: “This is yet another example of our commitment to valuing people and nurturing talent. Adam has worked hard since joining the team and is deserving of this promotion.”
