In celebration of National Apprenticeship Week from 6th-12th February 2023 a local engineering firm recently congratulated fourteen apprentices on completing their 3-year course as Apprentice Composite Technicians, carried out in partnership with Chichester College.

A spokesperson for Global Technologies Racing (GTR) said: “This has been a long journey for these apprentices and it has been a pleasure to see their growth and progression. Many of them were just 16 years old and came straight from school when they started.”

“All their hard work and dedication has paid off and been greatly appreciated.”

The company says it is looking forward to the future with the ‘graduates’ plus the current cohort of apprentices who joined them last September. GTR, based in Denmans Lane, Fontwell, is a composite design and manufacturing company working predominantly in motorsport and automotive.
