We have welcomed Zech Newton, a Business T Level student from Shrewsbury Colleges Group to its Marketing team. Zech joined the company in January as a ‘Trainee Marketing Administrator’ and is working one day a week alongside his studies.

T Levels are a new qualification equivalent to three A Levels, designed to equip young people with the knowledge, attitude, and practical skills needed to succeed in the workplace. A core component of each T Level is an industry placement, lasting a minimum of 315 hours, providing students with invaluable real-world experience. These placements also offer employers a unique opportunity to nurture and develop future talent within their industry.

Zech is eager to learn and is already making a positive contribution to the team, getting to grips with the various aspects of marketing. He is gaining hands-on experience in a professional environment and applying the theoretical knowledge he’s learning at college.

“I’m really enjoying my placement at Morris & Company,” says Zech. “Working on projects like the Winter Wellbeing campaign this January has been a great opportunity to put what I’m learning into practice and see how a marketing team operates in a real business setting”

Paige Eades, Group Marketing Executive, commented, “We’re delighted to have Zech join our team. He’s enthusiastic and has shown a real aptitude for marketing. The T Level placement is a fantastic way for us to support young people in our community and give them valuable work experience.”

Morris & Company is a fifth-generation family business creating exciting and sustainable developments to Shropshire’s commercial and residential landscape.
