Apprenticeship
The 22-year-old, who is now studying a BEng (Hons) Manufacturing Engineering apprenticeship at University of Sunderland, said: “I first realised I was interested in engineering around the age of 12 through my dad. He has always worked in engineering, and I would often help him out with projects inside and outside the house.
