Erodex takes on another apprentice amid aerospace sector growth

George Crocker joins the expanding Erodex design team, with the apprenticeship scheme delivered by the City of Wolverhampton College.

Having serviced Rolls Royce’s tooling requirements as part of a long-standing working relationship, Erodex has continued to grow, particularly within the aerospace sector.

This growth has been enabled due to the expertise of Erodex dedicated team, who provide robust solutions in the aerospace and IGT sectors, along with the wider engineering community.

In addition to having a robust design team, Erodex is fully equipped to manufacture the finished solution completely, enabling a customer’s component to enter production in a reduced time scale. This enables the firm to provide a complete one-stop-shop solution, which is a real differentiator in the market.

“The Erodex Group are aware of the skills shortage facing engineering in our region. When you consider niche skills such as those of a toolmaker, this is particularly poignant and highlights the need for us to start to grow our own talent”, commented director Steve Rolinson.

The company also has a good working relationship with Dudley College and currently has several apprentices enrolled in its courses.

Mr Rolinson concluded: “We are proud to be able to give these talented young people a start to their careers in engineering. At the same time, we are building our workforce of the future. We commit a significant amount of time to training our apprentices on the job and look forward to seeing them progress within the company. There will be opportunities for these individuals to grow within the business moving forward as we help them to develop the required skills. Everybody at the Erodex Group wishes them the best moving forward and I am sure that they will all continue to enjoy successful careers with us.”

Erodex provides a vast range of EDM supplies such as EDM wire and wear parts, as well as graphites and graphite machining.
