Waterside first year engineering and science apprentices

Congratulations to our first year apprentices who recently finished off their initial training by delivering a presentation night. Many of the cohort have completed an intensive multi-skilled engineering programme at Waterside, covering practical mechanical skills (benchfitting, turning, basic welding etc.) and industrial electrical control (including wiring automation circuits, PLC programming and inverter drive setup)  The cohort also includes science apprentices who have been working at their employers already, getting to grips with practical laboratory based work.  All the apprentices have enjoyed time together on personal development training, including a week long residential course near the Forest of Bowland in Lancashire.

Waterside Text Santa appeal

Coming close to the end of a busy year at Waterside, our HR Officer Kathryn and Technical Sales Manager Steve took up the challenge of raising money for the Text Santa appeal. They did a fabulous job, persuading people to wear very stylish Xmas jumpers (and leading by example themselves!), as well as playing competitions and games such as “Spot the Ronnie Reindeer” with our engineering apprentices.  Much fun and amusement all round, and they raised £130 for Text Santa, supporting worthy causes such as Save The Children.
