A Glasgow teen's dream of becoming an architect is coming true thanks to the Wheatley Group.

The landlord and its contractors are helping Baillieston youngster Arran Love to fulfil his goal.

The 17-year-old has just started studying for a degree in Architecture at Strathclyde University with the help of a £1500 Wheatley Foundation education bursary.

At the same time, the youngster is developing his on-the-job skills by working one day a week as an assistant at MAST Architects.

Arran, who spent four weeks working at the firm over the summer, said: “I’m really grateful for this opportunity.

“I always enjoyed creating and building models when I was a kid so studying architecture seemed a natural thing to do.

“The bursary really helped me. It takes away the stress of worrying about buying textbooks and materials and travel expenses.

“Working at MAST is great. Everyone is very friendly and I’m learning so much, picking up new skills and learning new software. It’s a really good experience for me.”

Michael Jarvis, Director of MAST Architects, said: “We do a lot of work with Wheatley and we are very conscious of our social responsibility, so we are delighted to have Arran working with us.

“He’s doing really well. He’s very studious and very keen to learn. He’s handling quite complicated tasks and showing maturity beyond his years. Arran has definitely got a job at MAST when he qualifies.”

Wheatley Foundation education bursaries are worth up to £1500 for full-time students and £750 for part-time studies for people studying for an HNC, HND, undergraduate or postgraduate degree.

Applications open in May next year.
