Meet the Team

September 19, 2024

At Foreman Homes, we’re dedicated to shaping the next generation of housebuilders through training and apprenticeship schemes. As part of this commitment, we recently welcomed two new apprentices to our Commercial and Technical teams: Alfie Milam, joining as a Commercial Apprentice, and Troy Stones, as an Architectural Assistant Apprentice.

Let’s find out more about them.

Troy – Foreman Homes’ reputation made them stand out from the rest.

What’s your favourite thing about your apprenticeship so far?

Alfie – The work environment and the responsibilities they give me.
Troy – I instantly became responsible for important tasks, I feel that the Technical team trusts me and my ability.

Describe Foreman Homes in 3 words?

Alfie – Inviting, chilled, respectable
Troy – Passionate, dedicated, innovative

If you could swap jobs with anyone else in the business, who would it be and why?

Alfie – Harrison, our Senior Quantity Surveyor, or Will, our Commercial Director, as that’s where I’d like to end up in my career in the future.
Troy – Harrison, Senior Quantity Surveyor – my brother is a quantity surveyor and he loves it.

What’s the best advice you’ve ever received?

Alfie – Mistakes don’t identify you as a person. It’s how you fix those mistakes.
Troy – To trust the process, it all falls into place eventually.

What do you think is the most important skill you will bring to your role?

Alfie – A willingness to get involved, confidence and proactive problem-solving
Troy – A perceptive second look at details that aren’t as obvious.

What are you most excited to learn during your apprenticeship?

Alfie – An insider’s view on this career path and the aspects of the process that are not visible to the public.
Troy – The ability to recite building regulations off the top of my head!

What’s something you can’t get through the day without?

Alfie – A coffee, some food and my phone
Troy – Starting my day off with Marmite toast and Good Morning Britain – a delightful pair!

Tell us a fun fact about yourself.

Alfie – I was once stranded on top of a mountain when I was snowboarding in France.
Troy – I am a black belt in karate…that’s not a threat though, I promise!

Finally, which Foreman Homes house would be first on your list to buy?

Alfie – The Brambling in Maddoxford Park, the site has really easy access to the M27 and A3 and we’ve just launched a £10,000 incentive.
Troy – I like the homes on Berry Way – it’s a smaller development so I think it will have a great community feel.

Welcome to the team Alfie and Troy – we’re so excited to see how you develop during your apprenticeships with Foreman Homes and what you achieve in the future.
