“We are casting our future” - Apprentice Testimonials

“The most enjoyable part of my apprenticeship has been learning so many different skills and being able to design running systems and come up with design changes to reduce scrap. Being involved gives me a sense of ownership and pride to say that I was one of the brains who got the initial concept of a part into a reality”

“I find it intriguing and there is always something new to solve each day. I am also not afraid to get stuck in and get my hands dirty. I would 100% recommend engineering apprenticeships in this industry - and Toolmaking, to other females”

“After completing a 5-year Maintenance Engineering Apprenticeship, I would thoroughly recommend an Apprenticeship in the Castings industry, there is so much variety”

“I love seeing the things I work on come to life. There are so many clever people working here, so much more than I realised being made and so many interesting things to get involved in”
