The first cohort of seven apprentices has already begun a three-four year programme, which will lead to NVQ Level 3 and BTEC diploma qualifications, and the company is now looking to recruit further trainees for the next intake.

The scheme has a strong local content, being managed by The Metals Academy of Sheffield and involving training courses delivered by Rotherham College of Arts & Technology and the Strategic Training Partnership (STP) of Rotherham. It has been welcomed by Sir Bob Kerslake, chief executive of Sheffield City Council.
Colette Rogan, 16, of Rotherham, is the only female among the latest generation of DavyMarkham apprentices but already had a flavour of work in engineering, through a school day release scheme.
She is joined on the course by Simon O’Mare (20) and Martin Westwood (19), both of Oughtibridge, local recruit Daniel Smart (17), who lives in Darnall close to the works, Nathan Thornton (17) of Brinsworth, Jacob Kinsey (18) of Herringthorpe, Ryan Clarkson (16) of Staincross and 19-year-old Andrew Wragg, who joined the company earlier and has now been recruited onto the apprenticeship programme.
