Supporting British Manufacturing:
The company provides a useful service for the local area, both for the services it offers and the vital training programme we have given to young apprentices, trainees and work experience students. In the sixteen years of trading we have provided: two full apprenticeships, four trainees, sixteen work experience placements including two indirectly through the Williams F1 team. We now have links with Coventry University and provide work experience with our electric motorcycle projects
Two people have had welding training. Liz has become competent in bronze welding and Tig welding steel. She has now started a business designing and fabricating bicycle chassis. Rich has achieved a level above the basic coded welding standard and is now a professional welder in the biomass industry.
