All three engineers spent the first year of their apprenticeship learning key engineering skills such as milling, turning, bench fitting, CAD modelling and CNC programming. The next two years were focused on working in different business areas, including time in the office to gain an umbrella view of the company, before being placed into their designated departments. Following similar paths, both Frank and Gunn now program Hepco’s large CNC machines, while Powell primarily focusses on rack cutting and manual machining.
Says Peter Fanshawe, HepcoMotion’s managing director: “Completing 20 years of service is a noteworthy achievement and I would like to thank Richard, Robert and Richard for their commitment to HepcoMotion. All three have been there through two decades of changes with us and their individual contributions are commendable and highly valued.”
