Sheffield-based Inspec Solutions, a technology systems provider to industries including petrochemical, food & beverage, power generation and the metals industry, has invested in its future by recruiting three new apprentices.
Tom Oakley (18), Tom Rickers (17) and Michael Cunningham (26) are undertaking BScs in Electrical Engineering with Sheffield Hallam University and are working as assistant controls engineers at Inspec Solutions. They join five apprentices already employed at the company as it continues to commit to investing in its own talent.
Mark Ritson, managing director at Inspec Solutions explained: “We are constantly looking to increase our talent pool and strongly believe in training up our own engineers to grow and develop within the business. This is our fourth cohort of apprentices and we really do recognise the value they bring to the company.”
Inspec Solutions is part of the 5% Club, which is a movement of employers for whom at least 5% of the business is made up of apprentices, working to create a shared prosperity across the UK by driving ‘earn and learn’ skills training opportunities.
The business recently celebrated its 20th anniversary in a year when sales grew by 30% with new contracts secured for its automation and process control solutions in the power generation, petrochemical and education and research sectors. Inspec employs 25 highly qualified engineers and software developers.
Inspec Solutions specialises in the production of bespoke automation and Industry 4.0 systems, allowing customers to extract data from plant level equipment and systems and presenting this for supervisory and management intelligence purposes.
