Derek Scott, HR director at British Steel, said: “We’re delighted to welcome our new apprentices to British Steel. Given the huge levels of investment across the company and the major changes we’re undertaking on the road to net zero, they have a fantastic opportunity to support the transformation of our business.
“We’ll give them first class training and support, and they now have the chance to build an excellent career with British Steel. All our apprentices were appointed after a rigorous selection process so they should be proud they’ve been chosen. They are the next generation of steelmakers and I’ve every confidence they’ll be huge assets to British Steel.”
