I've worked in thatching from 2015 to 2023. I learned from my mother and passed what I could on to 180 apprentices.
Apprentices come in nervous and leave proud. That's my favorite part. I try to remember everyone's name.
I never expected anything in return, but a kind word always makes my day.
More about Samuel
Some of my old apprentices now run their own shops. I couldn't be prouder.
