Sheffield Forgemasters has formally opened a 6,700 sq ft training and development facility to up-skill its apprentices for the next generation of nuclear-grade engineering.
The facility was formally opened by company Chair, Admiral Sir Tim Fraser, who unveiled 18 high-tech engineering machines, including a state-of-the-art five-axis milling and turning machine and incorporation of cutting-edge digital operating systems.
Jay Shaw, Head of Machine Shops at Sheffield Forgemasters, said: “The launch of our new training and development facility marks a significant step-change in the skills that we can deliver for our apprentices.
“We are now able to prepare trainees for the next generation of machines and operating systems that will be housed in our new 30,000 m2 machining hall, creating a highly focused engineering facility for the world’s most complex nuclear grade forgings and castings.
“Partnering with the University of Sheffield @AMRCTraining Centre, we will build a workforce which is fully conversant in Industry 4.0 manufacture to deliver one of the world’s most advanced defence manufacturing facilities.”
Sheffield Forgemasters’ new training and development facility is located within its ¼ mile-long South Machine Shop at Brightside Lane and incorporates 800 sq ft of office and teaching space.

As the Elizabeth Line opens to the public, we know it’s not just Londoners that will reap the rewards, but the whole country – because better transport grows the economy, levels up opportunity and creates jobs.
The key now is to launch the plan that supports these clean energy programmes, 480k high skilled well paid jobs by 2030 and UK industry deliver this once in a generation opportunity. The team @NuclearAMRC & @HVM_Catapult are ready to support. #CleanEnergy#LetsMakeItHappen
Accelerated programmes for wind, hydrogen, solar and nuclear announced today by HMG that will deliver our energy security, resilience and bring the price to consumers down. Great British Nuclear will be key to delivering 24GWe of new nuclear by 2050.

It is about time @Hermesparcels dropped their next day delivery service and changed it to delivery in a week. It would help manage expectations and improve customer service. This is the third time that they have been late by two or more days!
Looking forward to giving an update on the great work of @TheAMRC and @NuclearAMRC on supply chain development for CCUS & H2. Building on @fitfornuclear and Fit4OR, in 2022 we will be helping more UK companies get fit to compete & deliver Net Zero! #cleanenergy
Great to host the SoS and consortium members to launch the RR-SMR. I am proud of our @NuclearAMRC team for their leading role on Ph1. Now onto Ph2 and making the RR-SMR a reality delivering jobs, skills, energy security, low carbon power and exports #SMR#NetZero#nuclear
Amazing to be involved for such a great person and cause. Over a year in the making, just shows how special @AckworthJaguars are. The committee, supporters and players are awesome! #UTJ
@AckworthJaguars and @GooleVikings are very pleased to announce that a grand total of £13,339.19 was raised for @Rob7Burrow and @mndassoc following the recent fundraising rugby match event.
Both clubs would like to thank all who contributed to the fundraising effort.
@GWRHelp @SJSEdmonds Acceleration is one thing. Arriving on time, clean cabins, canceling at last min, over priced, customer service....... might want to start comparing these KPIs.... #trains#customerservice#uk
I am proud of the team @NuclearAMRC playing a leading role in delivering the Green Industrial Revolution. Supporting the country hit net zero and the supply chain deliver and grow. Not just in nuclear, but with our partners @ORECatapult in offshore wind. #cleanenergy
We once led the way with the industrial revolution, now its our turn to lead the green revolution. Supporting a mix of clean, generating types, heating and transport all mean investment in skills, jobs and capabilities. Lets make this happen! #cleanenergy
