Taylor Lane employees complete HTG in Construction and Built Environment
Charlotte Strike and David Webb from Taylor Lane Timber Frame have successfully completed a Higher Technical Qualification (HTQ) in Construction and Built Environment, achieving a Distinction and Merit, respectively. Taylor Lane sponsored their participation in the two-year course with the pair working at head office four days per week and one day at Gloucestershire College. “We provide timber frame training in- house and the HTQ complements this,” said Liam Hale construction director at Taylor Lane Timber Frame.
“It helps our trainees to understand the trades they will be working with and appreciate the wider construction industry, which is key to their development as timber frame professionals. More specifically, they have a better understanding of where timber frame sits in the build sequence, how it works with other building components, and how it impacts other trades.”
Since completing the course the two employees have advanced to full-time roles: Ms Strike as a contracts manager and Mr Webb as a timber frame designer. Both are managing their own projects working on private and affordable housing schemes for national and regional housebuilders.
