Engenda Group

We are delighted to share that Engenda has been awarded the INEOS Northwest Health & Safety Award for 2024! This recognition is a testament to the proactive commitment of our team to Safely Adding Value. Creating and maintaining a safer workplace is something we're incredibly proud of. INEOS is a longstanding client who we have worked very closely with, and Helen Rossetti, UK SHEQ Manager, shared the following feedback: "Your team's dedication to maintaining high safety standards and implementing effective measures has been very good. We are particularly impressed with the quality of evidence towards the award that your team via Ben have provided through out the year.   We look forward to seeing your continued success and contributions to health and safety excellence." A huge well done to Benedict Ofodile, HSE Advisor, and the site team for their dedication to safety and excellence.

As part of our commitment to supporting education and inspiring future generations, we are proud to sponsor an exciting exhibit at the CATALYST SCIENCE DISCOVERY CENTRE AND MUSEUM TRUST LIMITED Widnes; a wall showcasing elements of the periodic table! Each element has its own dedicated section, and we are delighted to sponsor platinum. When visitors explore the exhibit, they will see our company details every time they view the platinum display.   We chose platinum because it’s a remarkable element. It is highly valuable, incredibly durable, and essential in many industries, including technology and engineering. Its unique properties make it a fitting choice to represent our company’s commitment to value and innovation.   This partnership aligns with the museum’s mission to "put the fun into science" and we are thrilled to play a part in sparking curiosity and learning for visitors of all ages.   If you’re visiting the museum, be sure to check out the exhibit and find platinum. You’ll see our name right there!

As Apprenticeship Week ends, we sat down with members of the embedded site teams at Solenis Bradford, INEOS Inovyn Runcorn and Engenda Group Manufacturing (Halton Fabrications) to hear their thoughts on the importance and benefits of apprenticeships. We wanted to speak to the people currently going through their apprenticeships, whether straight from school or later in life, and to the managers who have seen their fair share of apprentices over the last few decades. Why apprenticeships? Why Engineering? What doors do they open? What does the future hold? Apprentices are the future of our industry, and we wouldn’t be the company we are without them. A big thank you to the Engenda apprentices and past apprentices, Brandon Winstone, Jamie Owen, Charlie Wimbleton, James Hemsworth and Leon Walsh. Also a big thank you to the management team, Wayne Thompson, Steven O'Neale and Lee Lovekin. Where did you serve your apprenticeship? #apprenticeshipweek #apprentice #engineering

At Engenda, completing an apprenticeship can lead to several exciting career paths, depending on your ambitions: 🏗️ Full-time Employment – A direct pathway into the industry. 🔧 Specialisation / Trade – Becoming highly skilled in a particular area. 📈 Supervisory or Management Roles – Taking on leadership responsibilities. 🎓 Higher Education & Further Qualifications – Advancing skills through additional training. 💼 Self-employment or Starting a Business – For those with an entrepreneurial mindset. 👨🏫 Teaching or Mentoring – Passing on knowledge to the next generation.

What qualities make a great apprentice? Our team agreed that successful apprentices all have these qualities: ✅ Eagerness to Learn – Showing curiosity and a proactive approach to skills development. ✅ Strong Work Ethic – Committing to tasks, being punctual, and taking work seriously. ✅ Adaptability – Learning from experiences and adjusting to different challenges. ✅ Attention to Detail – Taking care in their work to ensure high standards. ✅ Team Player – Collaborating with colleagues and respecting everyone’s role. ✅ Positive Attitude – Staying motivated and open-minded throughout the learning process. What are the biggest mistakes apprentices make? Learning involves making mistakes, but awareness can help apprentices avoid common pitfalls. According to our team, these are the biggest mistakes to watch out for: ❌ Not asking enough questions – If you don’t understand something, ask! It shows interest and initiative. ❌ Not taking initiative – Waiting to be told what to do instead of looking for ways to help. ❌ Ignoring feedback or advice – Constructive feedback is essential for improvement. ❌ Overestimating or underestimating their abilities – Finding the right balance between confidence and caution is key. ❌ Not observing and learning from others – Watching skilled colleagues can teach just as much as hands-on work. ❌ Avoiding challenges – Growth happens outside your comfort zone. #ApprenticeshipWeek #NAW2025 #Construction #Engineering

Apprenticeships are the foundation of a strong and skilled workforce, shaping the next generation of professionals. To mark #ApprenticeshipWeek, we asked members of the team at Solenis, INEOS Inovyn and Halton Fabrications for their thoughts on apprenticeships. To start the week, we asked: how do apprentices contribute to the team? Apprentices are more than just learners; they bring energy and fresh ideas while helping to keep projects moving efficiently. They said apprentices add value with: 💡 Fresh Perspective – Their curiosity and enthusiasm spark innovation, often bringing new ways of thinking to the team. 🛠️ Support for Routine Tasks – By handling essential technical tasks, apprentices free up experienced colleagues to focus on more complex work. 📚 Willingness to Learn – A strong desire to develop means apprentices are receptive to feedback and quickly adapt to the team’s working style. 🚀 Developing Future Talent – Training apprentices ensures a pipeline of skilled professionals who already understand the company’s culture and operations. While apprentices require training, those who are well-integrated quickly become valuable assets to any team.
