The annual FGP Group Apprentice Awards ceremony was on Thursday 3rd October, celebrating the outstanding efforts and commitment of our Apprentices over the last year. A handful of awards were available to be won in a variety of disciplines.
The day also officially welcomed a class of six new apprentices to the FGP Group, signing their indentures to signify the beginning of their engineering education with FGP Systems and FGP Lufton.
We welcomed our newest class of apprentices, who have already impressed in their early stages within the business. They are expected to complete their apprenticeship in 2028.
