Renishaw takes on record number of apprentices
Global engineering company Renishaw has announced a record intake of 35 apprentices for its UK operations, including six apprentices for its new manufacturing facility in South Wales.
The Gloucestershire-based business now has 85 young apprentices in training, the highest in the company's history.
Chris Pockett, Renishaw's head of communications, commented: "Whilst apprenticeships today are once again being given their rightful respect and prominence by the government and media, at Renishaw they have never been out of fashion.
"We started our first apprenticeship scheme in 1979 and even during the very difficult times, including the recent recession, we continued to recruit apprentices. So our commitment to training and the development of young people is clear."
Renishaw also announced today that it still has UK vacancies for around 120 engineering roles, 90 of which are at its five sites within Gloucestershire.
