Steph on Skills – powered by Enginuity
Recently, Will and Richard Bridgman were invited by Enginuity to take part in a podcast for the Steph on Skills series, sharing Warren Services’ journey with apprenticeships.
They were interviewed by Steph McGovern, who many people will recognise from television. Richard had met Steph previously at Make UK events and he said she is exactly as you’d expect – straight-talking, knowledgeable and passionate about the manufacturing sector.
Championing apprenticeships in manufacturing
Steph has an engineering background and has done a huge amount to promote manufacturing careers, particularly encouraging young people to consider apprenticeships. She is also a strong advocate for increasing female representation in engineering and technical roles, which made the conversation especially relevant and engaging.
They met at a studio in the heart of London for what turned into a very early start. Steph had an exceptionally busy morning, recording three separate interviews for the series and despite a delayed arrival, once they were set up everything flowed naturally.
A great conversation and positive feedback
Richard said: “But I must say Will is far more eloquent and at ease with speaking than me. Since the Podcast as gone out we have had a lot of positive feedback.”
The episode offers a genuine insight into Warren’s approach, the challenges we’ve faced and why investing in apprenticeships continues to be such an important part of our business.
