    • Ashton-under-lyne

    I was employed at this establishment after leaving Tameside technical College of Technology and completing my BTEC Nat Dip in Electrical Eng. I was firstly employed as a build and test engineer on arcade gambling machines, which involved assembly of components, diagnostic checks, and servicing test. I was then promoted to system operator, which involved complete software programming diagnostic checks to prove all modes of operation are correct. Was unfortunately forced to leave employment to further my engineering career in the Royal Navy.

    • Mossley

    I worked at this company for a year learning the basic principles of machine work using lathes and pillar drills, gaining the first steps of experience of fitting and turning. This was a good platform to gain the first steps to engineering at coal face experience, and learnt a great deal, which proved to be valuable in many engineering aspects in the future.
