Back in February, we advertised for an Apprentice Web Designer. We weren’t looking for an intern, or someone looking for work experience. We wanted to hire someone we could teach, nurture and mould into a world-class talent. We asked interested applicants to hand write a letter describing why they’d like to spend two years of their life at Mark Boulton Design, learning what we do. We also wanted to keep it fun and find out what makes them tick, so we gave a more open brief of telling us a story, writing a haiku or drawing us a picture. We were inundated with post from all over the globe; from as far away as Australia, North America and Eastern Europe and plenty closer to home, from all over the UK. We’re also sharing the winning application from our new Apprentice, Colin.
