Agemaspark Welcomes Two Apprentices to the Team

Doncaster-based engineering business Agemaspark is welcoming two talented new apprentices, Charlie Nicol and Sinem Akkaya.

Sinem, who is the first female apprentice to join Agemaspark, and Charlie have followed an impressive path into engineering. They both joined Doncaster UTC in Year 9 and have just completed their Level 3 Engineering Diploma alongside a course in Product Design. 

Both achieved excellent results this summer, with A grades and Distinctions, underlining their hard work and strong technical ability. Their academic success provides a firm foundation for the next stage of their engineering journey with Agemaspark.

Before applying for their apprenticeships, both Charlie and Sinem completed work experience placements at Agemaspark, giving them valuable insight into life in a high-precision engineering environment. Sinem also took part in the Doncaster UTC mentoring programme, where she was mentored by Agemaspark’s Managing Director, Paul Stockhill.

Paul Stockhill, MD of Agemaspark, said:

“We’re delighted to welcome Charlie and Sinem to the Agemaspark team. They’ve already shown great enthusiasm and commitment during their time with us on work experience, and we know they will make the most of this opportunity.

It’s especially exciting to welcome Sinem as our first female apprentice, as we’re passionate about encouraging more women into engineering. Apprenticeships are vital for building the future skills our industry needs, and we’re proud to play our part in developing the next generation of talented engineers. I’m looking forward to watching Charlie and Sinem grow and thrive in their careers with us.”

Agemaspark is renowned for its expertise in precision engineering and advanced manufacturing, and the business continues to invest in nurturing the next generation of engineers through high-quality apprenticeships.
