As its National Apprenticeship Week we thought we would share an update on our two fantastic apprentices that we have here at GBS.

Thomas, who is based in our machine shop and engineering department has been with us for many years now since 2016 and has progressed to now be studying a HND Mechanical Engineering course at Rotherham College where he attends one day a week.
Thomas Said "It's been a great experience for me and I would recommend the apprenticeship to other people”.

Our most recent Apprentice to join the GBS team is Will, who has been with us several months now and we are delighted to have him on our team. Will is based mainly in the GBS Workshop, where he is involved in the Zero Builds, IVA preparations and much more. Will has also enjoyed time spent in each area of GBS to get an understanding of what we do and to learn about the components that we design and manufacture for the Zero and other cars inhouse.

Will has now started his college course which is Level 3 Engineering at West Notts College in Mansfield where he also attends one day a week. Due to Covid-19 and the lockdowns the start dates of their courses were delayed slightly and the lessons have been online so far. Hopefully in the next few months the colleges will be open and students will be able to attend in person.

We have a fantastic team here at GBS and we are all very proud of our two apprentices who are both very valued members of our team. Hopefully you will get to meet them later in the year at our GBS events and Track Days.
