Dave will be able to provide an insight to the industry that goes well beyond textbooks.

“Vantage Homes Queensland has always been a big supporter of our local community and we value our company’s position on giving back to the Sunshine Coast,” Dave said.

“With our continued growth as a business, and our drive to grow the local economy, we are excited to have brought on three new apprentices to the Vantage Team!

“It can be hard to get a foot in the door with an established builder these days, but with our ‘Supporting Youth’ initiative, we have provided two school-based and one full-time apprenticeships to three up-and-coming young men.

We can’t wait to see what the future holds for our apprentices and know that, with the support and guidance of our construction supervisors and management team, the sky is the limit!”

Vantage Homes Queensland is locally owned and operated with its head office on the Sunshine Coast in Maroochydore.
