As National Apprenticeship Week shines a light on future talent, Target Lifts is celebrating the next generation of engineers already making their mark. We sat down with Director Danny Garaway, Compliance Manager Alan Buckingham and three of Target’s rising stars to hear how the company is lifting careers from day one.

Danny: I was fortunate enough to be an apprentice, and I know this is a fantastic industry that offers amazing opportunities across so many roles. I want to give people the same opportunities I had – it’s as simple as that.

We’ve welcomed nine apprentices so far, and while most of them are still progressing, our very first apprentice, Rhys, has completed his full apprenticeship, achieved his qualifications and is now a repair engineer, with an apprentice of his own. We couldn’t be prouder of him.

All our apprentices are given a wide view of the different elements of the company, with an opportunity to gain experience in each department. This covers the service, repair and project teams, so we can help them find the area where they’ll thrive.
