Fix Auto UK welcomes first apprentices in Manchester Metropolitan scheme

Fix Auto UK has welcomed its first degree apprentices, as part of a scheme delivered in partnership with Manchester Metropolitan University.

Tiah Glasgow (pictured, right) and Dominic Khan (pictured, second from left), who are undertaking degree apprenticeships in digital marketing and chartered management (data) respectively, are the first two recruits.

The scheme combines paid employment, a degree, and hands-on industry experience.

Admiral worked with Fix Auto UK to develop the degree apprenticeship scheme.

Glasgow will report to Helen Smith (pictured, second from right), brand and communications manager, while Khan will report to Rickesh Chohan (pictured, left), commercial analyst.

Ian Pugh (pictured, centre), managing director at Advantage Group, which Fix Auto UK is part of, said: “This is another genuine industry first for Fix Auto UK and for our industry.

“Tiah and Dominic represent the future. Their appointments, we believe, are hugely significant, game-changing even, for the entire UK vehicle repair sector.

“It is ground-breaking, because we are not simply recruiting for today, we are creating a completely new route into our industry for the talent of tomorrow.
