• Apprentices Strengthen The Team

The Emmegi (UK) engineering team has been given a major boost with the company’s two young apprentices Dan and Will successfully completing their four-year training programmes.

They have now both become NVQ qualified mechanical & electrical engineers – and both now carrying out machine servicing and repairs independently. They are already out visiting customers across the UK.

Ian Latimer, Emmegi (UK)’s MD, says: “Dan and Will are great apprenticeship success stories. They’ve done well at college and in the practical training they’ve received here. They particularly benefited from the fact that we gave our experienced engineers time and space to train them on jobs where they could learn and practice their skills.

“The whole team here has been invested in their progress and they’ve been immersed in our positive work culture, so they have also learnt all those other important life skills such as time management and customer communication.”

Succession planning

Latimer continues: “One of the biggest strengths of Emmegi (UK) is the stability and experience of our team, yet we do recognise that we need to invest in bringing on new talent as well. Dan and Will have proven that, done properly and with the right level of commitment on both sides, apprenticeships are a good way to do that.

“We’re already looking to repeat the apprenticeship programme and grow the team still further.”
