Sacyr UK takes on two new apprentices at new Velindre Cancer Centre site

Sacyr UK, the contractors building the new Velindre Cancer Centre (nVCC) has welcomed two new apprentices to its back-office team.

Sam Rees, originally from Swansea but now living in Cardiff, has joined as a community benefits apprentice, while Faith Evans from Newport has joined as a finance apprentice.

Both will play an integral part in the project, supporting the teams on site and learning along the way, attending Cardiff and Vale College while also working at the site in Whitchurch, until its completion in 2027.

Twenty-one-year-old law graduate Faith said of her appointment: “Joining the Finance team at Sacyr has been a really great experience so far. Everyone has been really welcoming, and I have already learned a lot in a short time.

“I chose Sacyr because of its strong global presence and forward-thinking approach – it is the ideal place to grow professionally while contributing to impactful, sustainable projects, that really make a difference.”

Sam, who is 27 and a film graduate, said of their role supporting the nVCC community benefits team: “I have felt genuinely welcomed into a team of highly skilled professionals. Each day presents new challenges and opportunities for growth as no two days are the same so far and it’s been really good fun.

“I’m really enjoying working with the community around the project site and I’m looking forward to really making a difference to the local area and working with the team to leave a lasting legacy from the project.”

Joanne O’Keefe, Community Benefits Coordinator, who is leading on the apprenticeship delivery at Sacyr UK, said that Sam and Faith have already made a big impact since joining the team at nVCC: “It’s so good to have Sam and Faith on board. They have made a big impact and I know are going to be key team players in the work we do here over the next few years.

“Their enthusiasm and different ways of looking at the challenges we face has been really inspiring so far, and I can’t wait to see how they progress in the coming months on the project.”
