Marches Centre of Manufacturing and Technology (MCMT) is urging young people interested in a career in automotive or motorsport to visit Loton Park over the Easter weekend (16th-17th) as part of its headline sponsorship of the Speed Hill Climb.

The new £3 million training hub, led by a consortium of Classic Motor Cars, Grainger & Worrall, In-Comm Training and Salop Design & Engineering, believes the two-day event is a good opportunity to promote a career in apprenticeships alongside the alluring noises and smells of some fantastic motor cars speeding up the Shropshire countryside.

Bosses will be on hand to talk to individuals and their parents about their vision to create ‘2020 learning opportunities between now and 2020’ and how vocational learning can be a great way to forge a career and even study towards a degree, without the massive debt of going to university.

They will also showcase plans for the 36,000ft² centre in Bridgnorth, which will house dedicated fabrication, foundry, lathe, metrology, milling, robotics and vehicle trimming sections, as well as a specialist CNC Zone and spray booth/mixing capabilities.

Chris Greenough, commercial director for Salop Design & Engineering, said: “The Loton Park Speed Hill Climb is a fantastic event for anyone interested in cars, nostalgia and competitive racing, which is why we thought it would be a great opportunity to raise the centre’s profile and get out there in the community.”

“Thousands of visitors attend every year and we believe there will be a lot of young people there who will be looking at what to do next after school or college. That’s exactly the type of person we’re looking to attract.”
