In August after finishing school Callum joined Cti as an apprentice. As part of his apprenticeship he did one day in sales, two days in quality, one day in the laboratory and one day in college (AMRC Training Centre, partnered with Barnsley College). Having started in the commercial department in August 2014, Callum discovered an interest in the Quality department, and moved across full time into Quality in January along with receiving a promotion. Callum completed a BTEC level 3 diploma in Manufacturing and Engineering and has carried out a work based project on research and testing for six months looking at process improvement within the business.
