Specialist KBB and construction recruitment agency, and online training provider, Simon Acres Group Limited, is bringing its expertise in talent acquisition and apprenticeships to this year’s InstallerSHOW, from 24^th to 26^th June at the NEC, Birmingham.

The group is sponsoring InstallerFUTURES, which is a dedicated student and apprentice programme at InstallerSHOW. It aims to provide a structured and meaningful visit to the show for the next generation.

InstallerFUTURES has a dedicated stand (4B24), and recruitment specialists from Simon Acres Group will be on hand to provide advice and guidance on both apprenticeships and recruitment. Simon Acres is also part of the InstallerFUTURES Advisory Board, which is comprised of key industry associates, who are passionate about the initiative, to help shape the InstallerFUTURES agenda. Additionally, Simon Acres Group will be filming content on and around the stand throughout the exhibition.

The ultimate goal for the Simon Acres Group is to work towards improving the skills shortage within the KBB and construction industries. Much of the content filmed at InstallerSHOW will focus on the topic of apprenticeships, bringing insights on how employers can nurture fresh talent, bring diverse perspectives and address the shortage of talented individuals within these industries. The videos will be shared during and after the exhibition for companies to use as resources to help with the long-term development of apprentices and young professionals entering the sector.

What’s more, Simon Acres will take part in a panel discussion on the InstallerFUTURES stand, at 12:30 on Tuesday 24^th June, where he will be discussing ‘how to get into the construction sector’. As a passionate advocate for apprenticeships, Simon will share invaluable insights into the best ways to build a successful career in the construction sector.

In addition, Jordan Burns, Group Sales Director, Simon Acres Group, will be leading a talk on the same InstallerFUTURES stand, at 14:45 on Thursday 26^th June. During the session, Jordan will focus on outlining his own personal experience navigating the apprenticeship process and how to build a career from this starting point.

Jordan will also showcase the docuseries project that Simon Acres Group is currently working on, in collaboration with Adroit Services, to document the entire journey of hiring and developing apprentices.

Simon Acres, Managing Director, Simon Acres Group, says: “InstallerSHOW is such a fantastic platform and supporting InstallerFUTURES is a natural fit in our commitment to bridging the skills gap in the KBB and construction industries. We’re passionate about championing apprenticeships and helping the next generation find rewarding careers in these sectors. Through live talks, expert advice, and the content we’re filming at the show, we aim to provide employers with practical tools and inspiration to invest in future talent.”

David Ventris-Field, Sales Director, Lyrical Communications, adds: “We are incredibly proud to have Simon Ares Group involved as a sponsor at InstallerSHOW.  The work they do to further apprenticeships is vitally important for the sector and is done in a creative, proactive way. They are a respected, long-term partner of InstallerSHOW and we are looking forward to welcoming Simon and the team to the event in June.”
