Erewash MP Maggie Throup welcomed local apprentices to Parliament to help celebrate their success and chatted with apprentices from Sandiacre-based Sigma Engineering.
Maggie said: “It was really good to meet the apprentices and hear their success stories and the type of work they undertake.
“Their message was quite clear – apprenticeships are definitely a popular alternative to higher education and those young people I chatted to were pleased to be learning and earning.”
