National Tradesmen Day is an opportunity to recognise the people building their skills and careers across the industry, including the apprentices developing their experience with Thomas Armstrong.
Emily Bailiff is an apprentice in our Timber Division, where she designs roof trusses, floor joists and spandrel panels, as well as assisting with timber frame coordination.
Alongside her role at Thomas Armstrong, Emily is about to begin the fourth year of her Architectural Technology degree at the University of Lancashire, with plans to complete her degree in 2028.
Throughout her apprenticeship, Emily has had opportunities both within the business and at university to develop her technical skills and support her professional development and progression.
Her next goal is to progress into timber frame design, continuing to broaden her technical knowledge and contribute to the future growth of Thomas Armstrong Timber.
We’re pleased to support Emily as she continues to develop her skills and work towards the next stage of her career.
