ANOTHER PACKAGING AUTOMATION APPRENTICE SCOOPS AWARD

Knutsford based Packaging Automation Ltd is maintaining its reputation as one of the best training grounds for young engineers in the country, as yet another of the company's young apprentices picks up an award.

Philip Muslek, who joined Packaging Automation last year, won the SETA (Stockport Engineering Training Association) 'Apprentice of the Year' award in recognition of his high standard of work and the timescale in which he completed his NVQ Level 2 Engineering units.

He left school after his GCSEs and took a two year OND Engineering course, before joining Packaging Automation, which manufactures high quality tray sealing and filling equipment for a number of industry sectors, on a mechanical engineering apprenticeship. He currently attends Stockport College where he is completing the first year of his HNC in Mechanical Engineering.

In recent years Packaging Automation apprentices have picked up a series of awards and the company is committed to encouraging more young people to consider a career in engineering. The company works closely with local schools and holds an open door policy for any young people and their parents to visit and learn more about the business and the opportunities available.
