Q&A with Apprentice Employer, Tony from Bradley Manufacturing Ltd 

Why did you choose to hire Apprentices? 

We chose to hire Apprentices because of the skills gap we had in our company, people are getting older, and we like to train from within so we can teach people Bradley’s way, making sure candidates are working correctly to fit in with our company's way of working. 

What made you want to continue to hire Apprentices? 

Here at Bradley’s, we have always had a good relationship with Rochdale Training, I was an Apprentice many years ago and about 99% of the workforce have at some point been an Apprentice. All staff members have started from the bottom, working their way up, I feel that Apprenticeships are a great way to train and progress within not only our company but the sector in general. 

Why did you choose Rochdale Training as the Training Provider? 

Q&A with Apprentice Engineer, Lucy from Bradley Manufacturing Ltd

What did you do before an Apprenticeship?

I started A-Levels in Psychology, Criminology, and Public Services. I decided to change my career path and joined Rochdale Training to do an Apprenticeship in Engineering in September 2023. I wanted something more hands-on and practical based.

Where do you work?

I work at Bradley Manufacturing in Oldham. They make lots of different engineered products for businesses across the UK. I chose my Apprenticeship at Bradley’s because I wanted to work at a company where I could learn valuable skills that would benefit my future career in Engineering.

What’s it like working in a team?

The team is great and always includes me and I have a lot of role models/mentors to help me through daily activities.

What are your goals for the future?
