Electrician Apprentices | Learn How To Make More Money Than Your Boss!
E96 | Why Electricians In Social Housing Are Paid The Least Money!
Kimmy never planned on being an electrician in construction, but after seeing what electrician installers were earning at the business she worked at.. she decided she wanted a slice of that rather lucrative pie!
After being allowed to shadow the installers, she enrolled at College to obtain her electrician qualification, but realised she'd need an apprenticeship. Unable to find one locally, she thought of a way to not only get one, but make good money in the process.
Kimmy goes on to describe her career as an electrician in the trades, including what really happens when working in Social Housing, how she was awarded the On The Tools 'Electrician of the Year' 2024 award, and how she is able to comfortably work only 2 days a week due to her social media earnings.

Loved her talking about social sparks as we often overlooked I am a social housing sparky and could if required tell you some proper good stories about social housing 😂
People don’t believe what goes on! Great girl well done
Crazy some of the stories.
Makes a change tradies being robbed like you all rob customers
What a proper bellend 👍
11:54 1. I'd say 99.9% of trades buy new tools BECAUSE we never intend to sell we use them till worn out & we want warranty and tax back on them (so why do we have a 2nd hand market)
👏
11:20 I'm sure everybody who gets up to an alarm clock and gets out of bed works hard. Everyone is always going to say their shoes are the hardest to walk in, but if you really wanted to settle that one, I'll unload your table and roll out a blanket while you unload a whole kitchen fit 20 units and 6 appliances worktops up just 3x sets of stairs (working hard & and Grafting hard is Not the same) I'm sure we all do our best at our jobs, but I'm just saying, running on a treadmill compared to being on the front line when you've got someone behind you chasing you is the same but you've in 2 very different worlds that are not comparable
#makita you've made Bluetooth chips, when are you going to make a GPS chip like an Apple airtag?
I caught a thief in my van in Muswell Hill, I don’t remember what exactly happened, but I do remember he had a big problem walking away.
😂
Great episode!👍🏻
Thank you 🎉❤
Great episode this 🎉
🙌
Thank you for watching 🎉🎉
How cracking down on where they are sold? The Old Bill know where, what are they doing about it?
It’s not the same but I use to fit bathrooms for Victoria plum and when they went bump they owed me just under 10k
Absolute shit tactics that it. Taking down others on the way out.
I've ended up in a full square up beforehand as they have been told there not getting the 2nd toilet fixed as they already have one working toilet. This came from the office
😂 shouldn’t laugh but some of the stories are just mental. Honestly big eye opener when we hear stuff like this.
Yep!! Crazy right ! 😮
Yessss my G!! ❤🫡😝
🙌
Just watching this, with the insurance gloss I'd have left it to insurance company. With the toilet issue, why on earth didn't he hire a portaloo and make arrangements for a toilet in the house even
🤣 who knows
@TradeLegends thing is it does happen, had a client accidentally lock us out on an exterior, used a bucket, immediately double wrapped bucket in rubbles bags, client for curious and looked in bags, very similar story this
👏 Thank you for inviting me and giving me the platform to share my story 🥳
Great listen this….👌🏼👌🏼
🎉🎉🎉🎉 thank you
Justice by sane people. How is a reference number going to help a WORKING MAN?
👏
Absolute earner, well payed 💸
😉👍
Isn’t this 2 years old ?
It is, but we do trade talks with some golden oldies.
👏
🎉
Respects always to so many hard working men.
👏
Kimmy what a legend
Thank the anti English woke mayor for turning London.into the capital shithole it is.
Welcome to England 2025…..
I've got osteoarthritis, and I'm 31, so my knees are trash. I'll be taking the apprenticeship test tomorrow afternoon, I'm not academically intelligent, so I figured I'd try a trade.
You’re not looking after your knees overweight
East European crooks!
a second pair of eye is invaluable, me and my mate in work constantly do it, he's got 20 years experience on me and we're always like 'have a look at this, what do you think' and between us we still cock it up 🤣 nah, no ego, just everyone looking for the best way at each job is how it gets done
👏👏👏
👍
👏
Great podcast this was, enjoyed it a lot
😉
Adams out on his own over a year now. How old is this 😅
Old clip from a few years back. We bring back from time to time old but gold stories from guests.
@TradeLegends was thinking the same. Thanks guys
I've learnt alot from Nick just on TH-cam without these videos I probably still be cutting wires with my teeth
He does well with his TH-cam. People like Nick are invaluable for their knowledge.
Yet despite how badly apprentices are, learning half what they need to know and college courses beeing massively padded out to justify staff wages, people still create when someone does a short course to get qualified in a trade.
Cheeky tw@t I’m 54 and still loving Plumbing I’m not at the end of the road 🤣🤣🤣😎🖕
😂
Bundy's a good egg.
He is… top man Nick
Inspiring video keep em coming
Glad you enjoyed it
Love me a bit of Nick Bundy
Who doesn’t 😉
Great clip guys! 👍
Good stories from Nick
👏 🙌 Yes Nick!!
See you tomorrow 😉 safe travels 👍
@@TradeLegends See you soon!

Hope u wished him a happy birthday
Hope you did too 👍🏼
