I think apprentices are so important and we at Sheffield Forgemaster took on a lot of apprentices.
00:05
I think there was something like 10% of the workforce were apprentices at one time.
00:09
We managed to get the average age down from about 50 down to 40.
00:14
Enthusiastic people and they're the future.
00:17
And I think people need a balance really between studying at university and studying as an apprentice.
00:23
And I think we're getting it right in the United Kingdom at the moment.
00:26
Has it been a tough decision?
00:28
An absolute tough decision.
00:30
There were so many good people.
00:32
I found it very difficult, I have to say.
00:34
Some of the apprentices were outstanding.
00:37
And I would like to give them all an award because they were that good.
00:42
But there's some special people and we'll soon see who they are when it comes up for their awards.
