Apprentices from Banbury-based company appear on Channel 4 News

Following the announcement of the Government’s £2bn Kickstart Scheme, an apprentice from Banbury-based company Norbar Torque Tools has appeared on Channel 4 News to speak about the importance of supporting training for young people across all industries.


The Wildmere Road-based company was asked to take part in pre-recorded interviews which later aired on the news programme. Simeon Baker, a CNC Setter at Norbar Torque was interviewed for the programme as was Director Neill Brodey.

Neill commented: “It was a great honour to host Channel 4 News and for our apprentices to be given such a high-profile platform to talk about their experiences. As I said in the programme, apprentices are our lifeblood and we will continue to invest in bringing young people into the workforce and giving them a good grounding as they begin their working lives.”

A scheme aimed at encouraging businesses to train up more 18 to 24-year-olds across all industries, Kickstart has been launched to alleviate the economic damage that some fear will more negatively impact younger generations.

Simeon Baker commented: “Apprenticeships are a hugely important part of giving thousands of young people a chance at a good, stable career. Norbar have given me a great start to my working life, including support for me during my degree course.”
