Young Guns Go For It

Locks manufacturer ERA has appointed two new apprentices to its team and they are really going for it with their careers. ERA has a commitment to provide learning opportunities for young talent within the local community.

Developed by Tyman UK & Ireland, a division of the Tyman group that includes ERA, the apprenticeship scheme has welcomed Aaron Robinson, who joins as a customer support engineer apprentice. He will be undertaking his Engineering Technician Level 3 Apprenticeship within the engineering team and will be assisting with customer visits and providing technical support and fit-ups for new products.

Ryan Hammond also joins the team as a sustainability apprentice. He will be working towards his Level 4 Corporate Responsibility and Sustainability Practitioner apprenticeship, working alongside Lara Coutinho, Tyman UK & Ireland’s sustainability programme manager, to help the business achieve the milestones set out in its ‘2030 Sustainability Roadmap’.

Every apprentice within the scheme receives the opportunity to work alongside colleagues across Tyman UK & Ireland brands, including ERA, helping to develop their knowledge and expand their skills.
