Hardy Signs is delighted to welcome Haris, our newest team member, who has joined us as a Level 3 Welding Apprentice in partnership with Burton and South Derbyshire College.

At Hardy Signs, we’re passionate about nurturing the next generation of talent. Haris’s apprenticeship is the latest example of how we invest in young people while ensuring the future of skilled craftsmanship in the signage industry.

From intricate metalwork to final installations, he will be involved at every stage of the process, learning how Hardy Signs delivers quality and precision across all our work.

Our long-standing relationship with Burton and South Derbyshire College plays a vital role in this. By combining structured learning with real-world industry experience, apprentices like Haris receive the best of both worlds — technical knowledge in the classroom and practical skills in a professional environment. It’s a partnership that not only strengthens our team but also supports the local community by creating a pipeline of skilled professionals.

“Bringing young talent like Haris into the team is exciting for us,” said Brian, General Manager at Hardy Signs. “We’re looking forward to supporting his development, watching his progression, and helping him build a rewarding career in the signage industry.”

At Hardy Signs, we are proud to champion apprenticeships as a way to inspire growth, strengthen our workforce, and continue delivering the high-quality signage solutions our clients trust.
