Bentley Motors has opened applications for its 2026 Apprenticeship Programme, with a September 2026 start date.

25 apprenticeships will be offered across finance, manufacturing, R&D, sales and marketing, quality, Mulliner, strategy and product.

All roles will be based at Bentley’s facility in Crewe.

Bentley will offer Advanced Apprenticeships, Higher Apprenticeships, Higher National Certificate and Degree Apprenticeships, ranging from the equivalent of two A Level passes to Master’s degree level.

Dr Karen Lange, member of the board for people and culture at Bentley Motors, said: “For 40 years, our apprenticeship programmes have been a powerful engine for innovation, craftsmanship and progress, enabling talented individuals to turn ambition into impact. 

“As we transform Bentley through our Beyond100+ strategy, it is the curiosity, creativity and technical excellence of the next generation that will define how we lead the industry forward. 

“Investing in young people today is how we secure sustainable success for decades to come.”

Applications for the 2026 Bentley Apprenticeship Programme close on 20th February.

Bentley said apprentices will be empowered to apply their ideas, develop future-ready skills and play an active role in shaping the future of the automotive industry.

Sophie Reynolds, degree apprentice in product strategy at Bentley Motors, said: “Bentley drew me in as a relatively small company where I could build close relationships, get hands on in real business activities, and gain exposure all the way up to the executive board. 

“Being within the luxury automotive sector, you get a real understanding of the impact of a customer, and how every team in the business contributes to industry leading excellence.

“My apprenticeship has taken me on placements across product strategy, product line delivery, manufacturing, R&D, and a stint internationally in Porsche. 

“Through the opportunities, responsibility, exposure, events, projects, and extra-curricular work that I have been involved with through Bentley’s apprenticeship programme I have achieved more than I ever expected, ultimately winning a national award through MAKE UK, as this year’s Business Apprentice Rising Star.”
