Trade kitchen supplier Howdens has launched a new, enhanced group programme for Kitchen Sales Designers across major UK cities including Leeds, Newcastle, Sheffield, Liverpool and Manchester. 

Designed to give young people and education leavers a start to a career with Howdens, the apprenticeships are targeting people that are ‘passionate, driven and keen to develop a career with unlimited growth’. No prior experience is required.

Successful apprentices will achieve a Level 3 Fitted Furniture Design Technician Apprenticeship over 14 months achieved through a combination of on-the-job learning, classroom sessions and external training.

James Baker, apprenticeship manager at Howdens, said; “This is a brilliant opportunity to start a career with unlimited potential and gain skills, confidence and the experience to open doors at Howdens and throughout your career. Our apprenticeships are perfect for people who thrive in a team environment. The role of Kitchen Sales Designer centres on creativity and relationships and is an exciting and rewarding role.

“Many of our colleagues, more than one in 10, started their careers with us as apprentices. They are a huge part of what makes our business successful, so we’re excited to welcome this new cohort to our enhanced scheme.”
