Apprentices

Here you can see photos of and hear memories about Fielding and Platt's apprentices, the company's famous apprenticeship scheme, and the Craft School.

Perhaps you have memories of being an apprentice at Fielding and Platt or remember someone who was?  If so, we'd love to hear from you so that we can build up a picture of apprentice life at the firm, so please email us at fieldingandplatthistory@gmail.com
