Investing in skills: apprentices and training at Metal Solutions

< 1 min

Metal Solutions is a big believer in hands-on skill building. This year, alongside offering a range of hard metal training courses for practicing roofers, it has also welcomed two new apprentices, Oliver and Maxwell, to its team.

Joshua is progressing through his welding apprenticeship, and the team is proud to celebrate Helena and Max, who have recently completed their apprenticeships.

For Metal Solutions, apprenticeships are not just about training; they are about investing in people, supporting local communities and keeping the craft alive.

Apprenticeships bring fresh ideas and energy into the workshop, give experienced team members the chance to pass on their knowledge, and ensure the strength of the hard metal roofing industry for years to come. For the wider community, they open doors – helping local people build rewarding, sustainable careers close to home.

Mentors Raf and Piotr said: “It’s amazing to see the progress from those first nervous weeks to confident, skilled team members. They’re not just learning a trade – they’re building a career.”

If you have ever considered taking on an apprentice, just do it. The rewards go far beyond the workplace. When businesses invest in people and skills, everyone benefits, your company, your team, and the future of the metal roofing craft.

As well as supplying roofing and cladding metals, Metal Solutions provides fabrication services, training courses and also operate roofing-tools.com, the UK’s largest online shop for specialist hard metal roofing tools and machinery.
