It was great to tour Aldermans Tooling again with MD Karen, to mark National Manufacturing Day. Aldermans have traded for over 50 years in Plympton and are one of the South West’s leading sheet metal fabricators. This year I got to see their new robot welder in action!
14% of Plymouth's workforce is employed in the manufacturing and engineering sector, one of the ten highest concentrations in the UK. Our corner of Devon has a thriving cluster of local manufacturers which offer amazing apprenticeship opportunities.
I encourage anyone considering an apprenticeship to visit the Plymouth Makes website
