News: Apprentices work for Newburgh
With apprenticeships at the heart of the business, precision engineering company, Newburgh, has just enjoyed a record year and December was its best ever in terms of orders and production.
With a state of the art facility at Templeborough, Newburgh is a specialist contract manufacturer of component parts and assemblies for the nuclear, defence, oil and gas, petrochemical, aerospace and power generation industries.
The firm has recently signed off four of its Rotherham team who have completed their four-year apprenticeships.
Luke Thickett, Matt Hall, Tom Allison and John Hannam completed their advanced apprenticeships having spent one year at Brinsworth Academy of Engineering, followed by a further three being closely mentored in production.
The apprentices got to work on projects such as manufacturing the Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) gearbox casings for use in the Bloodhound SSC supercar that aims to break the world land speed record by achieving the supersonic speed of 1,000mph.
Andy Millward, apprentice training manager at Newburgh, said: "I'm proud of the apprentices - it's rewarding to see how they've developed, arriving fresh from school and now they're skilled engineers. It takes a lot of hard work and commitment on their side, and a lot of time and investment on ours – and it's really worth it."
Newburgh is well known for its part in the promotion of STEM (Science Technology Engineering Maths) to the schools around their two sites at Rotherham and Bradwell, Hope Valley. It also co-founded the innovative work-wise programme that helps young people gain the work ready skills they need in order to take up apprenticeships and jobs.
Chairman Vincent Middleton is the third generation Middleton to run Newburgh, and developed the four-year apprenticeship after failing to recruit the highly skilled engineers the company needed to sustain their future. This advanced apprenticeship, developed with Brinsworth Academy of Engineering, has since won several awards, and is the apprenticeship of choice for many other engineering SME's across the region.
Last year, Ed Middleton, the great grandson of Newburgh founder, Isaac Middleton, successfully achieved an advanced apprenticeship at the firm.
87% of Newburgh's 140 staff were apprentice-trained, with over half of those trained by Newburgh itself, including managing director David Greenan. 25 apprentices are currently in place and recruitment is underway for six additional Advanced Apprentices.
