New apprentice helps expand our training programme
We’re pleased to announce we’ve taken on a new apprentice as we look to continue upskilling our workforce.
Apprentice, Reece Harlow, will support our automation strategy by acquiring the skills and knowledge needed to programme and operate new machinery following our recent £350,000 investment in new technology.
As well as Reece, we are actively looking for another Inscape Interiors apprentice to join our team as we reaffirm our commitment to offer opportunities for people from the local community.
Our managing director Gary Wynne comments: “We’re on a journey towards greater automation and achieving a smart, internet-enabled factory that can help us boost capacity and be more agile, efficient and sustainable.”
“To achieve this, we recognise the need to continuously upskill and invest in our people. We’re pleased to offer this apprenticeship opportunity to Reece who is doing really well so far. We hope to expand our apprenticeship programme in the coming months.”
We found Reece through our partnership with apprenticeship training provider North Lancs Training Group. Reece undertook an initial four-week traineeship with us before being taken on as an apprentice.
Reece said: “I was overwhelmed when I found out I had got the apprenticeship because it’s such a great opportunity to learn new skills and gain a qualification.
“I’ve been getting to know how everything works, like operating the laminate pressing and learning about the CNC machine. Everyone has been friendly and being part of a team all working together is something I’ve really enjoyed.”
