Sewing Apprenticeships

Placement Overview

We launched our sewing school in 2019 to help address the challenge of finding the next generation of skilled upholstery sewing machinists. All participants receive on-the-job training in all aspects of sewing fabrics required to make our range of sofas and other furniture.

Working in conjunction with Webs Training Ltd these opportunities provide a combination of both on and off the job training whilst earning national living wage with an opportunity to earn a production related bonus.

So far, we have successfully trained 16 recruits, who now all work in our production sites.
