MM Packaging Deeside is on the lookout for fresh talent, with apprenticeship opportunities open across the company, including engineering, finance, operations, and estimating. The business is seeking a number of new apprentices to join its established scheme, offering hands-on experience, structured learning, and a clear pathway into a long-term career.
The apprenticeship programme combines practical workplace experience with formal learning, enabling participants to gain recognised qualifications while developing valuable skills alongside experienced colleagues. Designed to support long-term career development, the programme provides apprentices with the knowledge, confidence, and experience needed to succeed in their chosen field.
Supported by the BPIF, MM Packaging’s three-year manufacturing apprenticeship programme provides a pathway to a nationally recognised Level 3 NVQ qualification. Alongside practical, hands-on experience, apprentices complete First Aid, Fire Marshal, and IOSH Managing Safely training, helping them build a strong foundation for a long-term career within the manufacturing industry.
The business has already seen impressive results from its investment in apprenticeships, with nine recent apprentices being offered ongoing employment and the opportunity to continue developing their careers within the company upon completion of their training.
David Whitworth, Managing Director at MM Packaging Deeside, said: “Some of the most talented people in our business started their careers as apprentices, so we know first-hand the impact the programme can have.
“For us, an apprenticeship is about much more than gaining a qualification. It’s about giving people the opportunity to learn from experienced colleagues, develop real-world skills, and discover where their strengths lie, all while becoming part of a team that wants to see them succeed.”
The packaging supply chain has faced challenges over the years on recruitment and strategy. By continuing to invest in apprenticeships, MM Packaging aims to strengthen its future workforce while helping individuals gain the qualifications, experience, and support needed to build successful careers in manufacturing and packaging.
David added: “We are looking for enthusiastic, motivated individuals who are eager to learn and develop, and in return we offer the training, support, and hands-on experience needed to build a successful long-term career.
“We’re proud to be able to offer these opportunities to people in our local community. Apprenticeships provide an excellent foundation for a rewarding career, and we’ve seen first-hand how they help individuals build confidence, develop valuable skills, and realise their potential.”
