and let's dance the night away! Building Heroes: Military Spouse to Business Owner: Wendy’s Building Heroes Story
Training
helped military spouse Wendy Bannister and her husband start a property
maintenance business.
Wendy had no idea that funded training could be available to her
as a military spouse. Her husband Brian, a former Royal Marine WO2, had been
retired for 18 years when she shared her story.
After discovering Building Heroes, Wendy and Brian applied for
Construction Skills and Retrofit/EPC Assessor courses. For Wendy, the knowledge and qualifications gained provided a route into a new working chapter alongside
her husband.
They went on to start a property maintenance company. Wendy
explained that, although she did not continue with retrofit work, she regularly
uses her EPC Assessor qualification as an additional service alongside their
property maintenance work. The business has also enabled them to offer
part-time casual work to their daughter while she studies at university.
“None of this would have been possible without the assistance of
Building Heroes and the training that they provided. We are incredibly
grateful.”
Wendy’s experience shows that Building Heroes opportunities
extend to military spouses, including those whose partners left Service years
ago. If you are a spouse or partner considering a new direction, explore the
training available and find out whether a programme could support your next
step.
Building Heroes supports Service Leavers, Veterans, Reservists
and immediate military family members to explore opportunities in construction
and the built environment.
