Harry Williamson has become the latest apprentice to join Whitchurch-based Landia – marking the 15th consecutive year that the pump and mixer manufacturer has offered training and career opportunities to prospective local young engineers.
19-year-old Harry, who is a former pupil at Brine Leas School, has the opportunity to secure important engineering qualifications with Landia, where he will gain valuable hands-on experience.
Paul Davies, Key Account Manager at Landia UK, said: “Prior to offering apprenticeships, we were always offering work placements to young people – and whilst of course some decide that our line of business isn’t for them – they still pick up skills that will always help them in the future”.

About us
Landia's headquarters are located in Lem, which is how it has been since 1933. Today, Landia has subsidiaries in England, Germany, Norway and the US, and a sales office in China. In addition, Landia products are sold in 45 countries worldwide. Landia supplies pumping and mixing solutions to many different industries, with the most important ones being agriculture, wastewater, biogas plants and the fish industry. In general, you will find Landia's products wherever there is a difficult medium to be pumped or mixed. Landia survives by selling quality solutions in close partnership with the customers.
Landia is not a supermarket where customers select products from the shelves. Our technical sales people are always in close discussions with customers, which ensures solutions that work. For Landia, quality in every phase a matter of course, and we have been ISO9001 certified since 1994. Quality also means that many of Landia's products have been in operation for 20-25 years even though the operating conditions may be extreme. In that way, Landia's customers achieve the lowest lifespan costs, while resource consumption is minimised, which further results in a positive impact on the environment.
