The new starters are based at the company’s National Avenue site and will work alongside experienced staff as part of their training.
Ideal Heating works with training providers including Humberside Engineering Training Association and Humber Energy Skills Training Academy for its apprenticeship programmes.
The latest intake of apprentices are all aged 18 and brings the total number of apprentices at the business to 29.
The new apprentices are quality engineer apprentice Holly Owst, R&D design – heat pumps apprentice Max Sladzevskis, and heat pump technician apprentice Robbie Kew.
Additionally, Henry Chik, Adam Scanlan and Eddie Kirkham have all joined the business as development engineers after studying engineering-based degrees.
Miriam Moore, HR director (designate) at Ideal Heating, said: “We recognise the talent, energy and fresh thinking that apprentices and graduates bring to the business and they play a vital role in shaping the future of our industry.
“As a company, we’re committed to investing in their development and providing them with the skills and opportunities to help them to grow into the next generation of industry leaders.
“We’ve made a deliberate shift in our recruitment tactics to target graduates, as well as apprentices, and to host open days to showcase our business culture and what we can offer.”
Moore added: “We’re able to provide young people with valuable industry experiences and peer-to-peer support to help them develop and grow in a supportive environment.”
