Timmy Blake
Palace Maintenance Team
Did you go straight into your Apprenticeship from school, if no what did you do previous to this role?
Yes, I went into the apprenticeship from school.
What made you apply for an apprenticeship?
I like to be hands on and learn as I complete things.
Why did you choose Blenheim Estate and what attracted you to our apprenticeship scheme?
I've grown up around the Palace and wanted to know what it was like to see some of the things many people don't get to see, I also liked the people who interviewed me..
What are your key roles/ responsibilities?
Keeping everything working, fixing things and neatening things up.
What do you like best about the job?
The people who I see everyday.
How are you finding the apprenticeship and how is it helping you progress?
The apprenticeship is going great, I've learnt many new things and I've gained more skills and confidence outside of work because of it
What do you hope to gain and once your apprenticeship has finished?
Hopefully, I can get a job working here after the apprenticeship, and stay for the foreseeable future.
