McCue Apprentice Testimonial
I had left school not knowing what I wanted to do and ended up working in a factory. I knew I neeeded to gain a trade and joiney appealed to me the most. Having looked at the various employers McCue appeared to have the best set-up and you could see they genuinely wanted you to succeed. Since joining I have really enjoyed it, I have learnt alot, got paid for it and even got to go work on a cruise ship.
