Cammell Laird Welcomes New Intake of Apprentices

Cammell Laird, part of the APCL Group, is delighted to announce it has welcomed 50 new apprentices this September.

APCL offers award winning apprenticeship programmes across the North West, South West and North East of England – and this year 72 apprentices have joined the Group in total.

Together, A&P and Cammell Laird recruit at least 70 apprentices each year and the vast majority have gone straight into full-time, permanent employment upon completion of their initial training.

Cammell Laird has recruited 50 new apprentices this year including 15 welders, five mechanical fitters, one machinist, six riggers, two shipwrights, 19 platers and two pipefitters.

The new cohort of apprentices started with the business on the 9th of September and will also attend The Engineering College while they learn their trade.

David McGinley, CEO of APCL Group, said: “I am proud to welcome the latest intake of apprentices into our business. Apprenticeships are the lifeblood of APCL, and we consider it a privilege to nurture the future generation of talent.

“I am delighted to see such enthusiasm from young people wanting to achieve careers in the maritime sector and engineering across a wide variety of trades.

“I look forward to seeing them establish successful careers with the company and in addition, along with our second, third and fourth year apprentices across the business, playing their part in building customer success.”
