We have recently taken on a new apprentice, Bradley. He is undergoing a 3 year apprenticeship in mechanical engineering and maintenance. Having joined the company in August 2017 in conjunction with Loughborough College, Bradley has nearly completed his first year with the company.
Bradley’s comments.
“I really would like to thank Zipex for giving me this great opportunity. From the first day they have made me feel really welcome and I feel part of the family. The company has great knowledge in the products we produce with all the staff having vast experience this has made my first year really enjoyable. I have already learned so much about maintenance of machines and also fault finding and repairing.
Mo (my mentor) has really taught me so much in such a short time and I have also learned a lot about health and safety and how to work in a safe environment. The first year has been a really great experience and I hope to go on with the help from Zipex to complete a extended degree for a further 2 years after my apprenticeship ends and remain with this great company for many
more years”
Update…
After taking him on as a Level 3 Engineering apprentice, we continued to invest in his development by fully funding his progression through a Level 4 HNC, a Level 5 HND, and now into the second year of his Level 6 Honours Degree.
This investment has gone beyond financial support alone — Zipex have also provided ongoing, mentoring, and practical support to help him successfully achieve his goals.
