New Apprentice Intake for 2021
In September 2020 Transport Repairs kicked off a new Apprentice recruitment campaign to select the very best applicants for 8 Apprenticeship positions starting in 2021. This recruitment process evaluated nearly 400 applications before carefully selecting our new recruits.
