Lauren our Fabrication & Welding Apprentice enjoys her first year at GBS.....
/
Lauren joined the GBS Team just over a year ago and is currently doing her Apprenticeship with us for Fabrication & Welding and studying at West Notts College in Mansfield on a Level 3 Fabricator course where she attends 1 day a week. Lauren is based in our fabrication department which earlier this year moved premises into our current building that we expanded into, where she helped with the move into the facilities. Lauren and the team are working on some existing and new products that the team have been developing that we will be releasing later this year. At the beginning of her apprenticeship with us, Lauren had a project of her own which was to design and make a TV Display stand out of a barrel drum that we wanted to have on our stand at shows and events and that can now be seen in our showroom.
Laurens says “ The first year has gone very quick and iv really enjoyed it, learning lots of new skills and had lots of exciting projects and products to work on. Moving into the new premises earlier this and being under one roof is great for me, as being an apprentice I able to work alongside other members of the team in other departments. I am now looking forward to the next 3 years of my apprenticeship with the team.
We have a fantastic team here at GBS who like Lauren all have a strong passion for all types of Motorsport. Lauren has a strong back ground in mechanics and interest in motorsport and especially motorbikes, having a motorbike of her own and recently passing her driving theory test she will soon be doing year driving test later this year.
We are proud that around 80% of the Zero is made in house and many of you that have already visited us at the GBS Factory will know that we design and manufacture a lot of our products in house including the ATR Suspension, Throttle Bodies and more.
Many of you may have met Lauren at GBS and at our Cars & Coffee and Friday Night at the Factory events that we host. You will be able to meet Lauren later this month at our last Friday Night at the Factory of the year that is happening on Friday 25th August. See more details here on our event page.
