🏆 From site to stage: CML named a Top 50 SME Apprenticeship Employer 2026!

Last week, Faye Corkett and apprentice Harry Bennett headed to the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE) HQ in London to represent CML at the Top Apprenticeship Employers celebration, delivered with Higherin.

Harry, currently on his Civil Engineering Degree Apprenticeship, was interviewed on the day about his journey so far - and in December he'll be back at ICE HQ to collect his ICE Eng Tech Accreditation certificate!

Harry said:
💭 "It was an honour to represent CML. Attending ICE HQ was amazing - it's been an aspiration since starting my apprenticeship."

What makes this recognition extra special is that the rankings take into account feedback directly from apprentices - not just numbers. A brilliant reflection of the time and support we put into developing our apprentices here at CML.

🎓 A fantastic week of work experience at our Leeds office!

Recently, we were delighted to welcome four students – Harrison, Tom, Dan and Isabel – to CML for an exciting week of work experience.

👷 During their time with us, they got a behind-the-scenes look at life within a civil engineering business, spending time with teams across our commercial, sustainability and marketing departments. They also received valuable career guidance and learned more about the diverse opportunities available within the industry.

We've been incredibly impressed by their enthusiasm, curiosity and willingness to get involved. It’s been fantastic to see them embracing new experiences, asking insightful questions and making the most of every opportunity throughout the week.

🤝 A big thank you to everyone across the business who contributed to making their experience so worthwhile, sharing their knowledge, expertise and advice along the way.

🎤 To round off the week, each student delivered a presentation to members of our team, confidently showcasing what they had learned and reflecting on their experience at CML.

👏 We’d like to wish Harrison, Tom, Dan and Isabel every success for the future. We hope their time with us has provided a valuable insight into the world of civil engineering and inspired them as they consider their next steps.
