Showcasing our industry apprentices - Matthew Turner

He repairs a wide range of vehicles alongside qualified technicians. He contributes to daily production targets, and is a keen advocate for the sector, regularly volunteering to speak at schools and events.

Matthew is 21 and as an apprentice is working towards becoming a qualified Accident Repair Technician. He comments: "My apprenticeship has helped me gain crucial skills to safely repair damaged vehicles. I've demonstrated these skills to over 4,000 people at WorldSkills, inspired young people at careers fairs and networked with industry professionals – helping increase my confidence hugely. My employer sees me as a bright star and part of future growth plans. I plan to progress to a leadership role."

In Matthew's work trial, his practical aptitude across key areas - paint, panel and Mechanical/Electrical/Trim - was excellent, along with his attitude and willingness to learn.
