Welcome Luca – Our CNC Engineering Apprentice!

We’re excited to welcome a new member on board our team. Meet Luca Benduce, our CNC Engineering Apprentice! 

Luca joins us after completing his studies at Blessed Trinity RC College in Burnley, and will be completing his apprenticeship as a CNC Engineer with us through Training 2000. 

“I chose to come to VWM as when I researched the company, it seemed like a great place to work, and the work seemed varied enough that I’d be presented with new challenges every day, which played a big part in my decision. The team have all been very welcoming and are amazing to work with. 

“Every day is different, and I’m really enjoying my new role. On a typical day, I’ll be working with the team to install and service the machines, getting them ready for installation into our customer’s workshops. My role requires me to be very hands-on and use a lot of different tools, which I enjoy. 

“Since starting my apprenticeship, I’ve found that my favourite aspect of the role is how varied it is. I like getting stuck in with every job and assisting different team members with their tasks. 

“Once my apprenticeship is complete, I hope I will be fortunate enough to be able to continue working at VWM and pursuing a role as a CNC Engineer. It’s a really exciting and rewarding job.”
