Today’s Site Visit with 1st Year Apprentices 🧱

10 February 2023

Today’s site visit involved 1st year apprentices visiting the Anchorage Quay project from Tameside college for an insight into the life of a bricklayer 🧱

We showed them how a high-rise project is built right from the beginning to the end with the site team. We gave the students a presentation in the site office about how we operate, discussing pre-planning, health and safety and quality procedures.

Following this, we then took the students out to site under the supervision of our Project Manager Paul Kane, our Contracts Manager Ben Douglas BSc (Hons) and our Director Jamie Hoskinson to take a look at the build-up of the external wall and how are systems work out on site.

The students really enjoyed being out on site and were intrigued by the knowledge we had to offer. There were lots of ‘Q and A’ from the apprentices which was really good.

At Kinlan brickwork we aim to encourage and invest in young people to learn a trade such as bricklaying as the industry always needs new trades.

Happy national apprenticeship week from us all here at Kinlan!😊👏🏼

🔨 Strong standards don’t happen by chance — they’re built through consistency, accountability, and collaboration. 👷‍♂️🦺

We hope you enjoy a relaxing and joyful long weekend.

🐣🌷 Happy Easter from all of us at Kinlan Brickwork & Scaffold!

We hope you enjoy a relaxing and joyful long weekend.

Still reflecting on what was a fantastic evening at the NWCHSG Awards 👏

Nights like this are a powerful reminder that progress in our industry doesn’t happen in isolation — it’s driven by collaboration, shared learning, and a genuine commitment to doing things the right way 🤝

Huge congratulations to Cameron Murray on an incredible achievement!🎉👏

Cameron has just passed his Level 2 Apprenticeship with flying colours, achieving distinctions across the board — a fantastic result and a real testament to his hard work and dedication 💪📚

A different view from Tariff Street, Manchester — and a project that’s really starting to speak for itself 🏙️

The façade is coming together with a sharp, consistent finish, and the lighter brick is giving the building a clean, modern feel 🧱✨

🚧 Water Lane, Leeds – Quality Check in Action! 🚧

A little time on set-up saves hours later! From clamping pistols on top-level masonry supports, to dropping string lines 🧵 and keeping every pillar true to line — getting it right from the start is everything 💯

Another great look at progress over at Lumina Village in Manchester 👏

With the sunshine lighting up the site, it’s a proper showcase of the quality and detail the team have been delivering throughout. The brickwork is really starting to stand out now, bringing the whole development to life as we move closer to completion.
