Leading Northern Ireland contractor Henry Brothers has hosted a job sampling and careers day for students in Magherafelt.

A group of P7 pupils at Woods Primary School visited the company's headquarters in Magherafelt, where they got an insight into the construction industry and Henry Brothers. They were given the opportunity to get hands-on, trying a variety of roles, including bricklaying, plastering, tiling, and joinery.

Speaking about the informative and interactive workshops, CR Director at Henry Brothers, Ian Henry, commented: "This is the first time that we have hosted this event for primary school students, giving them experience of a real-life working environment and the chance to get stuck in with various activities found on a construction sit

"At Henry Brothers, we are committed to developing the next generation of construction experts while going above and beyond to enrich the lives of young people in the community, and we hope that events such as these motivate them to pursue a career in construction."

Karen White, Principal at Woods Primary School, added: "Our pupils had an excellent morning at the 'Get stuck into Construction' session at Henry Brothers.

"Visits like this are a great way to showcase the wide range of career options available to young people within the construction and engineering sectors. The pupils enjoyed having conversations with many different construction professionals and loved the 'hands on' experiences provided during the visit including getting to try their hands at plastering, brick laying and joinery."
