SCH Supplies, based in Holbrook in Suffolk, have recently taken on three young apprentices. 

The company say it's due to a very busy summer and increased orders that they have decided to take on more staff.

A spokesperson for the company said, "We feel that it’s only fair to give younger people an opportunity to get their careers started in engineering. The apprentices were recommended to us by WS Training of Ipswich, and will be supervised and mentored by them during the duration of the course. They will receive training in various departments, and will gain skills across the entire manufacturing process, from processing raw materials to assembling the finished products.

"Our workshops manufacture a wide variety of machinery, from trailers, leaf suction units, flail mowers and much more. The apprentices will have hands on experience with both petrol and electric engines, and will benefit from the variety of products that they will work on."

SCH say they have had huge success with apprentices in the past, with one of their first apprentices still with the company over 20 years later. It’s due to this success that they have continued to employ local aspiring engineers.

The company say they wish the apprentices all the best of luck in the future and they are proud that the experience and training gained at SCH will help them throughout their careers.
