Cappagh Brings the Highway to Fareham at CTEC I Construct Fair
Mock road showcases four years of apprenticeship success as a new clean water operative apprenticeship is announced
Cappagh was out in force at the CTEC I Construct two-day fair in Fareham, showcasing the mock road built by the team for apprentices to train on - complete with its own dedicated B2149 road sign pointing the way to Cappagh.
The mock road gives apprentices the chance to learn in a realistic, live highway environment, building the skills and confidence they need before they step out on to the network. It has already proved a valuable training asset, and many more apprentices will benefit from it in the years ahead.
The fair was also an opportunity to celebrate the success of the Cappagh apprenticeship programme, which has gone from strength to strength over the last four years.
Looking ahead, Cappagh will start a dedicated new clean water operative apprenticeship on 27 January 2027, opening up a further route into the industry for people looking to build a career in the water sector.
Matt Guest, CEO of Cappagh Contractors, said: “We have had such a successful apprenticeship programme over the last four years, and I cannot wait until 27 January when we start our dedicated new clean water operative apprenticeship. So many apprentices will benefit from the mock but live atmosphere of a highway environment. A huge thank you to Charlotte and Shaun for heading this up, and to Gary Wearn and the SGN South team for helping us to reinstate the road in the past.”
The work at CTEC is part of the ongoing commitment by Cappagh to developing the next generation of skilled operatives, and to working alongside clients such as SGN to give apprentices real experience of the highway environment.
