Midland Deburr & Finish Celebrates National Apprenticeship Week 2025

Midland Deburr & Finish is proud to celebrate National Apprenticeship Week 2025, reaffirming the wider sector's commitment to nurturing the next generation of skilled professionals in the finishing industry. As a leader in precision finishing solutions, we recognise the vital role apprentices play in sustaining our expertise in degreasing, solvent degreasing, vapour degreasing, and deburring techniques, including vibratory deburring.

Managing Director Chris Arrowsmith highlights the significance of apprenticeships in the company’s long-term success: “Apprenticeships are the backbone of our future workforce. By equipping young talent with hands-on experience and specialist knowledge in degreasing and deburring, manufacturers ensure the industry continues to thrive with highly skilled professionals. Investing in apprentices is investing in the future of British manufacturing.”

In the Midlands manufacturing finishing sector, its crucial for apprentices to work alongside industry experts, learning the intricacies of precision cleaning and finishing processes. “From solvent degreasing to vibratory deburring, young engineers must develop expertise in techniques that are crucial to achieving the highest quality standards in aerospace, automotive, and precision engineering,” adds Arrowsmith.

With a shortage of skilled workers in manufacturing, Midland Deburr & Finish is taking proactive steps to bridge the gap. Through structured training programs, apprentices gain valuable hands-on experience while contributing to real-world projects. “Manufacturers need to be shaping future specialists who will carry forward the high standards of quality and efficiency that define our industry,” says Arrowsmith.
