Formaplex introduces new apprentice intake
Formaplex has taken on six new apprentices. Established in 2001, Formaplex is one of the leaders in the advanced engineering supply chain, providing tooling, design and manufacturing support to some of the world’s leading companies.
“We are delighted to introduce our six new apprentices, all of whom went through an intensive selection process and have now completed the first three months of their four-year toolmaking apprenticeships,” stated Formaplex CEO, Mike Bryant, commented. “Our in-house apprentice training school works closely with local colleges and together they have now established a programme that will continue to develop skilled engineers that will, not only, ensure the future success of Formaplex, it will also benefit the entire engineering industry in the UK. We wish each one of our apprentices great success in their future careers.”
