A welding and pipefitting hub is being launched by industry training provider Catch, with designs on taking 60 new apprentices a year.
It is a direct response to an identified shortage in skills with huge infrastructure projects emerging on top of the existing need across the Humber Bank and beyond.
A large workshop at the Stallingborough base is to be repurposed as tenant and fellow operator Heta makes a move to a £5.5 million new standalone site at neighbouring Pioneer Business Park. The vacated building will immediately be put to work for the vital Humber Bank trade, with anecdotal evidence suggesting welders can earn more than doctors in the region, such is the need.
