40 new jobs up for grabs as Aesseal announces expansion plans

MAJOR manufacturer Aesseal is expanding its workforce with up to 40 new apprentices.

The Templeborough-based industrial seals maker said it had spots up for grabs in a range of areas.

The company said it had long had an active apprenticeship programme with a emphasis on machining.

Machine shop apprentices will make up 12 of this year’s intake, with 28 in other support roles.

Apprenticeships will be offered in computer-aided Manufacturing, reliability, marketing, design, HR, business assurance, sales, stores, IT, purchasing, systems and the commercial department.

The new apprentices will be hoping to follow in the footsteps of 22-year-old Amber Nicholson (pictured, above left), who recently picked up Derby College’s Apprentice of the Year Award.

A company spokesman said that following a large growth in sales in 2017, the company had continued to grow in 2018, with seeing record sales of over £16.25 million.

Julia Bloomer, head of learning development, said: “It is our intention to have a very significant apprentice intake, for all areas of the business, including our traditional manufacturing apprenticeships.

“We fully intend to ensure that all of our apprentice intake is given the opportunity to study appropriate qualifications.  

“Mentors have been interviewed and selected for all areas of the business for which apprenticeships have been approved. 

“The business is confident that the apprenticeships will work both for the successful candidates and for the need of a growing organisation to hire even more great people.”

Aesseal is holding an open day from 4pm to 7pm on July 17 at its Mill Close HQ. To register, click here
