Bayley Morley was delighted to be promoted after completing his polymer apprenticeship with his employer, Schoeller Allibert.
The 21-year-old, who is now a technical process engineer, said: “The apprenticeship sounded like a really good thing to do as I wanted to get on the career ladder and this way I would get paid while I learnt.
“I’ve really enjoyed my apprenticeship. The quality of training was very good and it’s been great to become part of a team on the shop floor.”
