00:12here because a lot of young people wouldn't necessarily know what it means to work in a

00:17place like this and I bet you if they heard from you or saw a bit of what you're doing here they'd

00:22want to come here and work or in similar jobs so if you could do that the other thing is even to be

00:30an apprentice these days is a success in its own right because as my boy is 17 and a half so we're

00:37going through the is it university is an apprenticeship and I'm beginning to appreciate

00:48so it's a huge success even to be standing here starting or halfway through or whatever it is

00:53through the apprenticeships that you're doing so congratulations to all of you thank you for

00:58showing us around it is so good to be out and about and seeing what's going on here incredibly
