The introduction of the new HGV is a positive step for the Sertec Group and it is one of many which will be introduced to the Group overtime.
On 7th September our SLA team held an induction for all our new Apprentices.
The group will be undertaking Engineering Apprenticeships across a range of pathways, including Maintenance and Tool Making.
Over the next 4 years the group will gain invaluable experience working with the business and the college, preparing them for their long and prosperous careers within the Sertec Group.
An Apprenticeship is just the start, its a pathway for the young minds of today to learn, earn and to gain invaluable experience with highly qualified engineers.
To name a few people who have come through the ranks from starting out on the same Apprenticeship pathway – Richard Sadler is now SAST Plant Manager, Paul Millin is in Hungary working at our SASH Plant as Project Manager and Dave Steggles who is Sertec’s Group Managing Director.
With your hard work, dedication and passion you will succeed.

We are very passionate about supporting our local teams and in turn we hope to open the minds of the younger talented generation to the future opportunities that Sertec can offer.
An enterprising partnership between education and industry saw the launch of a new £16,000 IT suite at The Coleshill School.
Leading Warwickshire engineering firm, Sertec, is investing in the future of thousands of young people by funding the purchase of new digital equipment at the popular Coleshill School.
‘The Sertec Suite’ officially opened at the academy on Tuesday 18 July. Boasting 32 computers, the new facility will provide hi-tech education to the academy’s 1,000 plus students, as well as pupils at neighbouring primary schools.
Group CEO, Grant Adams said: “We are delighted to be working with a forward-thinking partner in Coleshill School; they are an outstanding faculty and Sertec will continue to support the educational needs of the next generation of students about our hi-tech industry.”
The facility marks the school and business’ first year of working together to help young talent. Both organisations have collaborated to actively promote apprenticeships and support a number of opportunities for students, including work experience placements, career-related events and mock interviews.
Ian Smith-Childs, headteacher of the Coleshill School, a business and enterprise academy, said: “This is a fantastic opportunity for the school and community and we would like to thank Sertec for its continued support and generosity. They share the value we place in our young people and our commitment to equipping them with the right education and skills for a successful future.
“The Sertec Suite will enable us help young people switch on to technology from an early age and to develop that passion into the workplace. We are also excited to be able to open this facility up to our community primary schools – Coding is a key part of the national curriculum and thanks to this welcome investment, we can unlock the potential in even more children.”
The collaboration is also a positive experience for Sertec. Through developing key relationships with local schools in the community, Sertec has been building awareness of the value in apprenticeship schemes and by doing so, this greatly supports its search for technical staff, which are critical for the company’s future growth and development plans.
Steve Moore, group HR director, added: “This is only stage one of an important journey for Sertec and the Coleshill school. The youth of today have the opportunity to become part of the structure of a successful business and there are no boundaries that will limit the aspirations of all students.
“We are committed to this project and greatly appreciate having the opportunity to work with a successful school and the dedicated staff, without whom, none of this would be possible.”
The institute was formed over 60 years ago to promote the science of working and using sheet metal and to provide opportunities for people to exchange ideas and information.
