PROCUREMENT APPRENTICE

Is there a specific moment or achievement that stands out as a proud milestone in your journey?

I have had a few opportunities. I did a video with Laura Trott for National Apprenticeship Week and got to visit Parliament and meet some of the MPS. It gave me a good opportunity to network and meet people. I am currently working on Valhalla, which has been enjoyable. I have also had the chance to go out and visit schools in the local area and chat with other people of similar age about my experience here at Aston.

What do you think sets Aston Martin’s Apprenticeship Scheme apart from others in the industry?

Aston Martin is an ultra-luxury brand. It has so much history behind it, with James Bond as an iconic image. Working at other companies, they might not have as much history with the brand, so that is important to me.  In terms of employees, Aston is a small company, so it makes the brand feel more personable. I find there is not a huge gap between senior management and myself, making it feel like a close and personal place to work.

What made you choose Aston Martin and its Apprenticeship Scheme to start your career?

The Brand has an amazing history behind it, and I was drawn to it. I think having the chance to work with cool supercars and get exposure to different areas of the business to see how it all works is exciting. With lots of projects coming up and launching in the next few years, seeing this unfold makes Aston Martin an exciting place to work. It’s an amazing time to join the team.

Looking ahead, what do you hope to accomplish, and how does Aston Martin’s Apprenticeship Scheme support you in reaching those goals?

After my apprenticeship, I’d like to stay at Aston. I wouldn’t want to leave, and I love my team. I want to continue my work in Procurement, progress through the ranks and keep working on my skills. I would like to one day become Chief Procurement Officer, potentially in 30/40 years for Aston Martin.

What advice would you give to students considering Aston Martin’s Apprenticeship Program?

Apply and do it! It’s a great place to start learning and on the job, too, while also getting a degree! I’d also say to students to keep an open mind when applying. As you learn on the job, go with it, be passionate about learning, and ask questions. I didn’t know what Procurement was at first, and now I’m really enjoying it.

MANUFACTURING APPRENTICE

Is there a specific moment or achievement that stands out as a proud milestone in your journey?

I would say that my proudest moment so far working at Aston Martin is being able to say that I helped during the production process of the first ever new Vanquishes. I have been given a lot of responsibility in my role to help make decisions and aim to improve production processes.

What do you think sets Aston Martin’s Apprenticeship Scheme apart from others in the industry?

I think the level of involvement you get from day one. I thought when I joined the apprenticeship, it would start of being low level with not much responsibility, however I have been thrown into tasks with the necessary support and been very hands on. Due to Aston Martin being a smaller company in comparison to industry competitors, I am able to experience many areas and get a wide understanding of how sports car manufacturers function.

What made you choose Aston Martin and its Apprenticeship Scheme to start your career?

As a young female aspiring engineer, Aston Martin’s apprenticeship scheme stood out as a chance to enter the automotive industry, and become part of a greatly prestigious company. I think Aston Martin offered me an exceptional opportunity to develop my knowledge by studying for my degree, alongside gaining so much hands on experience within the customer-focused production environment.

Looking ahead, what do you hope to accomplish, and how does Aston Martin’s Apprenticeship Scheme support you in reaching those goals?

In the future, I aim to continue my development across different areas of manufacturing engineering, supporting upcoming projects and making connections within the business. As an apprentice, there is the flexibility to explore different aspects of the company, so making the most of these four years means I can end my course with not only the academic knowledge, but also a great overview of Aston Martin’s values and working processes. I would like to continue working within the manufacturing engineering team and progress into roles with more responsibilities, as well as supporting other females into the engineering industry where I can.

What advice would you give to students considering Aston Martin’s Apprenticeship Scheme?

I would say to take the opportunity and apply! Not only does working here open a lot of doors for future opportunities, but the support you are given allows you to develop skills and build confidence. Starting a full time job whilst also studying for a degree can be overwhelming to consider, but you are given the time to study when required, and the support system within Aston Martin makes the whole process a lot easier to adjust into. From other apprentices in the same position as me, to colleagues within my team, everyone is willing to help and push you to get the most learning out of the apprenticeship.
