Davy Markham Re-establishes Apprentice Scheme
Sheffield heavy engineering concern DavyMarkham, now under new ownership following a recent MBO and currently enjoying strong order books, has renewed its in-house apprenticeship scheme, after a twenty year gap. The first cohort of seven apprentices has already begun a 3-4 year programme, which will lead to NVQ Level 3 and BTEC diploma qualifications, and the company is now looking to recruit further trainees for the next intake. The scheme has a strong local content, being managed by The Metals Academy of Sheffield and involving training courses delivered by Rotherham College of Arts & Technology and the Strategic Training Partnership (STP) of Rotherham. It has been welcomed by Sir Bob Kerslake, Chief Executive of Sheffield City Council, and by the regional office of Unite the Union, Britain’s biggest trade union, which counts many members amongst the workforce at DavyMarkham’s Darnall Works on Prince of Wales Road.
