Meet Leon (sat down) and Ethan, our 14th and 15th apprentices since Andy and Luke took over the business in 2006.

Both are studying Level 3 Engineering at HETA, with Ethan specialising in electrical and Leon in mechanical.

They've completed their first year, prepared for the workplace, learned basic multi-skilled engineering modules, and are now following the tried-and-tested route 13 other young people have taken here at GIC.
