Thomas Keating Ltd welcomes new apprentice

Thomas Keating Ltd welcomes Reece Clements to begin his toolmaking apprenticeship.

‘An apprentice’s first year’s training which uses a training structure that has been in place since 1940 in the manufacture of personal equipment, really does allow that apprentice to appreciate the skills needed when using hand tools through to operating machinery.  With that comes personal pride in seeing what they have achieved,” says Training Supervisor Dave Cox.

TK strongly believes in the continuation of strengthening its personnel skill base for the future. ‘We are always planning ahead so we are able to recruit an apprentice year on year’ says Toolmaking Manager, Simon Duke.  ‘ We find that supporting local Career Fairs and school career events to show case TK advancements within the space, science and medical industries allows students to consider a career path into engineering and that Great Britain can manufacture’
