1 min read

EEF, the manufacturers' organisation, has appointed Christine Chapman (pictured) as centre manager at its multi-million pound Technology Training Centre in Aston, Birmingham. The move comes after the previous manager, Ian Grant, took on a newly-created role designed to boost EEF's apprenticeship management support for JLR in the North West.

The centre was purpose-built to train the UK's manufacturers and engineers of the future in world-class facilities. Christine will be joining in July and will be working alongside technical training director Peter Winebloom and his team.

Chapman started her career in engineering as an apprentice at Rolls-Royce, going on to gain a degree in mechanical engineering and completing an MBA. After leaving Rolls-Royce, she held a number of senior level roles in engineering companies.

For the last two years, she has worked at Dudley College where she was centre manager for engineering. She has previously worked at a number of other colleges having completed a Postgraduate Certificate in Education.

EEF's Technology Training Centre currently runs more than 50 technical training courses and trains around 250 apprentices a year in a variety of vital engineering and manufacturing skills. The centre works in partnership with over 70 employers.
