About this employer
Connaught Carpet & Flooring began as a small family enterprise over four decades ago, and it’s grown into a beloved local business through three generations of dedication and passion. Established in 1980 by our founder (and beloved grandfather), the company has always been rooted in the values of honesty, hard work, and personal service. Over the years, the torch was passed to the next generation – who expanded our offerings and built a reputation for excellence in West Yorkshire – and today, the third generation is proudly carrying on the tradition. We are genuinely a family-run business, and when you shop with us, you become part of our extended family too!
Though we’ve evolved with the times, our mission remains the same: to provide high-quality flooring with exceptional customer care. From day one, we’ve believed that every customer should be treated with kindness and respect. Many of our clients return to us whenever they have a new project, and much of our work comes from word-of-mouth referrals. It warms our hearts to have helped multiple generations of local families – we’ve fitted carpets for young couples buying their first house and later helped them choose durable floors when the kids (and pets) came along! This continuity and trust from the community inspire us every day.
After this apprenticeship
This is a fantastic opportunity for the successful candidate to start their career with a highly reputable and well-established company.
Progression within the organisation with more responsibility is expected on successful completion of the apprenticeship.
In time, you may wish to undertake further qualifications such as Occupational Work Supervision, which can be studied at Level 3.
