[Megmog94]

Hi there
I'm from Romford looking for a plumber in Essex/East London to take me on as an apprentice- any takers?!

I'm 20 years old, female and most importantly hardworking! But am finding it so difficult to get my foot in the door

Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

Welcome and good luck.
Perhaps if you lurk around some of the local merchants you may strike lucky.
Perhaps Compass in Dagenham!

Your best bet is to call round all local companies and speak to them, also maybe try your local colleges to see if they can put you in touch with any of the employers they deal with who may be looking to take anyone on.

BG need women. Also it might be an advantage if you were gay/ bi and non white British - us see anyone can learn to be a plumber but only birth can make you an indispensable statistic.

have a look here if you havent already Girls Allowed, Apprenticeships for Girls in Essex, Careers Advice and if you want to know how hard it is for a female plumber, my mrs was Middlesbrough Councils first female plumber (back in the day) .
