Meet Sam, an Apprentice Plumber at GSH Group, delivering essential services for our customers every day. Sam is nearing the end of his apprenticeship and is looking forward to becoming fully qualified in 2026.

Why did you choose an apprenticeship over a traditional academic route?

“Learning on the job really appealed to me. I felt it was the most practical way to build the skills I need to succeed in my career.”

Why plumbing?

“I’m very hands-on and love fault-finding and problem-solving — that process of elimination really motivates me. I also enjoy using different techniques to find solutions. Innovation definitely inspires me.”

What do you enjoy most about your role?

“Working as part of a team and tackling challenging jobs. I know it sounds strange, but I genuinely enjoy dealing with problems — I guess that makes me the perfect engineer!”

And your ambitions for the future?

“I want to keep developing my engineering skills, especially around future technologies like air source heat pumps, alongside more traditional qualifications such as gas certification. Long term, I’d love to be my own boss… maybe even running GSH Group one day.”

Watch this space — CEO Sam might be closer than we think.
