In 2024, Screwfix conducted considerable research into the uptake, or lack-of, Apprenticeships within the Trade industries, and what that means for both the established tradespeople working today, and for the future. The results of the research are published in The Screwfix Voice of The Trade Manifesto. This document outlines the potential problems facing the industry in the near future and has been used as a tool for the Screwfix CEO to open public discussion in the national media, as well as at events in Parliament with MPs to discuss promoting the benefits of Apprenticeships to young people and within education.
