As with many long-established engineering companies WMH recognised that in order to prevent a skills shortage in the future, it needed to actively invest in the next generation of engineers. Since 2016 WMH has employed seven engineering apprentices across the business to ensure the continuation of the specialist skills required for the design and manufacture of high-quality food production machinery.

All WMH apprentices follow a structured path of BTEC and NVQ qualifications in general engineering. Attending college in Plymouth one day a week and practical skills development under the supervision of WMH’s experienced engineers for the remainder of the week. “We are very proud of the progress our apprentices are making and the valuable contribution they are able to make to the business now and in the future,” said Tom Tomlinson managing director at WMH.
