Apprentice to Placemaker - How Local Government Grows Its Own Talent

Lucy Benjamin joined Enfield Council as a 17-year-old apprentice.

Now she’s a Development Manager responsible for major housing projects — including 1,000 homes at the Alma Estate.

She talks about mentoring, organisation and the power of apprenticeships to create careers that deliver for communities.

Her story shows how local government is growing its own talent — and why investing in people is vital to building better places.
