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

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. If a page or photo sparks a memory then please share them by adding a comment at the bottom of whichever page has sparked those memories. Or email us at fieldingandplatthistory@gmail.com.
