News: Newburgh apprentices hand over Bloodhound parts
Apprentices at Newburgh Engineering in Rotherham presented precision engineered Spin Test Rig parts for the Bloodhound SCC to Richard Noble OBE, at an event held in Sheffield recently.
Engineering apprentices Luke Thickett and Edward Middleton handed over the parts that were manufactured at Newburgh's Templeborough facility at the "Get up to Speed" event held as part of the Global Manufacturing Festival in Sheffield.
Vincent Middleton, Managing Director of Newburgh Engineering, said: "We are delighted to be involved with the prestigious Bloodhound SSC project, not only because it helps to promote this region's engineering expertise on an international scale, but the project is also helping to inspire many young people to pursue careers in engineering.
"This is a really exciting industry and one where the skill and expertise of our staff is critical. We recognise the important of investing in the training and development of the next generation of young engineers and it is apprentices like Luke and Edward, who will ensure we can continue to lead the field in precision engineering long into the future."
Noble is a former land speed record holder and is now the driving force behind the Bloodhound SSC project which has the twin aims of reaching 1,000mph on land and of inspiring future generations of engineers and scientists.
At the event, Richard thanked Newburgh Engineering staff for their contribution which has included producing a number of components for the prototype vehicle and equipment to test the stability of the sand in order to select the perfect site on which to make the record attempt. Following these tests, a site in South Africa has been selected for the run, which is due to take place in Hakskeen Pan in the Northern Cape next year.
