Throughout the programme, we equip our apprentices with all the skills and knowledge they need with regards to electrical, mechanical and electronic engineering domains, as well as moving and installing complex, high-technology equipment.

We believe in building a better world for everyone. As part of that, we dedicate time to supporting charities through fundraising. 

For example, we recently put our hamstrings to the test at our 12-hour Cyclothon in aid of Sports Relief, as well as braving the 25 km walk as part of the Cotswold Way Ultra Challenge in aid of various charities.
