Pump And Mixer Manufacturer Offer Work Experience And Career Opportunities To Local Students

Listen to this article

As National Apprenticeship Week 2024 approaches (February 5th – 11th), a thriving Whitchurch-based business is keen to recruit its latest up and coming engineer.

Landia UK, the pump and mixer manufacturer, which is celebrating its 30th anniversary, has offered work experience and career opportunities to local students at its Waymills site for the past 17 years. Several apprentices have gone on to develop their skills with the company, working their way up to become full-time, qualified engineers, as Landia’s Paul Davies explains:

Managing products that deal with the wastewater from food, sewage and farm waste might not sound that glamorous at first (!),” he said, “but an apprenticeship with us is ideal for somebody who enjoys the challenge of problem-solving. Every day is different here. There’s lots to learn.

He added; “Take Josh Edge, for example. Not that long ago he was a brand-new apprentice at Landia, but here he is now, using valuable experience gained on our shopfloor to work on sales and projects, including a role just recently at the big LAMMA agricultural show to meet new and prospective customers.”

In advance of National Apprenticeship Week, Landia has already been liaising with local schools, colleges, and training organisations in the search for candidates. This follows several important new orders gained by the Whitchurch company in the final quarter of last year.
