A Quantum Leap in Innovation: How Apprentices Are Powering the Future at Quantamatic

At Quantamatic, we believe that the future of business lies in the hands of a skilled, adaptable workforce. That’s why we’ve made a firm commitment to apprenticeships, T Levels, and continuous upskilling — not just as a social good, but as a strategic investment in our productivity and innovation.

As highlighted in The Independent, UK SMEs like ours are increasingly turning to vocational training to bridge the skills gap and future-proof their operations. For us, this isn’t just theory — it’s a lived reality. By welcoming apprentices and T Level students into our teams, we’re cultivating fresh talent, new perspectives, and a culture of learning that benefits everyone.

Our experience shows that when you invest in people, you unlock potential. Apprentices bring energy and curiosity, while our experienced staff gain leadership opportunities as mentors. The result? A more engaged workforce, improved retention, and a sharper competitive edge.

Amber was half way through her first year of a Design and Development for Engineering and Manufacturing T Level qualification and already had an impressive CV. “We were keen to meet her,” says Francis Wilkinson, Quantamatic’s Quality and Regulatory Manager, who quickly offered Amber a 45-day placement. “To say it’s been a success, is an understatement – she completely exceeded our expectations and has brought a new dimension to the business.”

Amber’s computer-aided design mastery stood out, enabling her to create original drawings for Quantamatic that are being used across the business. “Some of our product designs were in need of a refresh,” says Wilkinson. “Amber applied the skills she’d learned at college and elevated our core drawings to a new level. She made a huge, tangible difference and leaves a real legacy.” Amber is hoping to continue onto a degree apprenticeship on completion of her T Level in 2025.
