Read the full storyI really enjoy the variety and the fact that there’s always a new challenge. I also like seeing a tangible product at the end of the manufacturing process. It makes me feel a real sense of achievement!
Olivia Knox
CMP Products
Colleague Stories
Olivia was studying a degree in Maths when she realised she wanted to learn in a more hands-on way. She began her manufacturing apprenticeship at CMP in 2021.
I originally chose to do a degree in Maths because I wanted to get into engineering. However, I didn’t really enjoy it because it wasn’t hands-on, so I dropped out. After doing a bit of research, I decided to apply for a job at British Engines. The highlight so far have been the transition from college to a working environment and the amazing support I have received!

Colleague Stories
Sam began his maintenance apprenticeship at BEL Valves in 2019 before moving to Rotary Power in 2020. He is currently in his final year working towards an HNC in Electrical and Electronic Engineering.
As an apprentice, you’ll get to learn on the job while meeting lots of new people. You’ll get to hear different points of view as well which helps you to develop as a person. I’m really glad I chose an apprenticeship because it's taught me how to be accountable and responsible both at work and in my personal life.
