What Happened

During National Apprenticeship Week, Dennis Eagle hosted a Networking Day at its Technical Training Centre in Warwick, bringing together nearly 30 apprentices from depots across the UK. The day included a welcome from Managing Director Keith Day and HR Director Jen Booker, a tour of the new training facility and main factory led by senior apprentices, and a team-based activity managed by Quality Control Manager Andy McKinlay.

Activities of the Day
  • Welcome and introduction by Managing Director Keith Day and HR Director Jen Booker
  • Tour of the new Technical Training Centre and main Warwick factory led by third and fourth-year apprentices
  • Team activity: design and build a paper crane that can hold a pencil, with a twist of swapping designs between teams
  • Q&A panel with former apprentices who have built careers at Dennis Eagle
“I started with Dennis Eagle in September 2024 as an Apprentice HGV Technician. My favourite thing about this apprenticeship is the fact that the trucks I work on in the workshop are the very same trucks I see outside my house in the morning picking up my waste. There’s no better feeling than physically seeing the positive impact your role has on your local community.”
— William Bish, Apprentice HGV Technician

The networking day also featured a Q&A panel with former apprentices, including Tony Bates, Manufacturing Manager; Teresa Jones, Sales Support Engineer; and Chris Benton, Head of Purchasing and Supply Chain. They shared insights from their career journeys and offered advice to current apprentices.

Why this matters

The event highlights Dennis Eagle's investment in developing skilled workers through hands-on training and career progression opportunities within the refuse vehicle industry.
