The main things that attracted me to this job are that fact that
it’s outdoor work and you’re working as a part of
a team.
I like to use my hands and get stuck in and I’ve been able to do that with the support from the team in the quarry. They
really are excellent to work with.

Nathan Hammond - MPA member company
When I left school I knew I wanted to do something practical
and the quarrying industry appealed because it employs other members
of my family.
I haven’t been disappointed and I’m surprised by
the amount of variety within the job. There’s always something
new to learn.

Leanne, Kelly and Chris - MPA member company
As new entrants to the world of quarrying, Leanne, Kelly and
Chris had no previous knowledge of the industry, but part of their
induction programme included a visit to a quarry so that they
now understand the basic processes involved.
They work in offices close to their homes and enjoy the benefits
associated with their jobs, such as sporting and social activities.
From admin to accountancy, their roles are typical of those on
offer to young people joining straight from school at 16.
