Engineering Young Talent has its roots in the 1970s and many past apprentices have now progressed into managerial or supervisory roles. Hear from our current young professionals and support team. We’d love to welcome you to EYT soon!
If you're willing to listen and be open to what they tell you then you learn a lot and you learn quickly.
Donald Whitehead, Fabrication & Welding Apprentice
It's exciting. We like to win things. We're probably all quite competitive. I think it's rewarding.
Beth Richards, Business Development Apprentice
If you commit to a job and do it well, then you get the rewards for it. Enjoy it!
Barry Collingwood, Production Controller
I like the fact that I'm learning all the time. I have a really nice tutor as well, that's really helpful. Also, my manager helps me a lot.
Amy Muscat, Administrative Assistant
It was a perfect fit for me, better than university, because I can learn experience on the job as well as getting paid.
Zain Shahzad, Digital Engineering Technician Apprentice
I think that mainly it's the confidence which has developed. I was always quite a shy kid, quite quiet. Coming into Hargreaves I was like a small fish in a big pond and now I'm a medium fish in a big pond.
Robert Davies, Digital Innovation Manager
It's good. Being able to develop someone else's skills off the back of your own. I take a lot of pride in that.
Chris Makin, Manufacturing Operative

We are currently not seeking any apprenticeship roles at the moment.
Several of our ‘Class of the 1970s’ former apprentices are now involved with our newest apprenticeship group as mentors and pastoral care. This ensures a legacy of learning and support. Experience is passed through the generations to facilitate consistency of product and service at Exyte Hargreaves.
Join our team and you could be working alongside former apprentices like Barry (who has been with the company almost 50 years); Rob (following successive promotions he’s now leading our Digital Innovation team); Maisie (now the lead engineer at Hinkley Point C); and Jordan (Production Manager in our factory).
