Manthorpe Apprentice Graduation
Added 29.07.2015
The latest generation of Manthorpe engineers have celebrated completing their apprenticeships at a prestigious ceremony at Derby College’s historic Roundhouse venue.
Jake Nightingale, Jordan Frederickson, Patrick McCormack and Daniel Mee were awarded their HNC certificates by a graduation panel led by Chris Hughes, Chairman of the Governing Council at Derby University.
They are the latest in a long line of Manthorpe apprentice graduates, which has produced over 30 highly-skilled engineers in the past 10 years. Manthorpe continues to be one of the largest employers of apprentices through the Rolls-Royce training school.
“Our apprentice programme continues to provide us with highly-capable and committed engineers, who have had some of the best training available to them at the Rolls-Royce apprenticeship academy,” Mark Elliott – Special Projects Director said.
“Our apprenticeship graduates have progressed into all areas of our business, from five-axis machinists and CMM operators to sales and manufacturing engineers. They continue to be vital part of our long-term plans.”
Whilst the Manthorpe apprenticeship programme offers school leavers the chance to learn at a world-class training school, it also gives real-world engineering experience in an encouraging working environment.

“We are proud of our apprenticeship programme and proud of our apprentices and graduates. We’d certainly like to encourage more young people to take up engineering apprenticeships. They offer great long-term prospects for school leavers as well as anybody else considering a career in engineering.” - Mark Elliott, Special Projects Director.
