Train operator appoints eight new apprentices

TransPennine Express has hired eight new apprentices from towns and cities across the region including Huddersfield, Leeds, Manchester and Middlesbrough.

Over the next two years, the eight individuals Ben Hunt, Cameron Law, Ellen Thompson, Harry Moss, Jacob Dube, Jack Millward, Megan Asquith, and Ted Hollas will be immersed in the world of TPE and will play an integral part in transporting customers and connecting communities across the North and into Scotland.

The apprentices will work across the business to see how each function works together to keep customers on the move, all while gaining the skills required for a career in the rail industry.

Each will also gain a Level 3 qualification, with TPE working with training providers to ensure the qualifications are relevant and positively impact both the business and the apprentices.

Emma Sayers-Bates, Early Careers Talent Manager for TransPennine Express, said: “We’re delighted to welcome the next generation of rail talent and proud to be introducing our eight new team members.

“Apprenticeships are huge opportunities for both students and employees and are an excellent way for young people to kick-start their career, allowing them to further their education and gain great work experience at the same time.

“We want our apprentices to gain knowledge across the whole business, giving them a great start as they build their careers. Our apprentices will delve into different areas of the business, from supporting communications to the delivery of services in the control centre; the new recruits will get to see what it’s like to run a railway.”
