Our History
- MGTS is an educational charity that first began operating in Coventry in 1965. The Head Office on Gulson Road is now home to over 100 new engineering apprentices each year, as well as training delegates undertaking a wide range of technical courses and skills assessments.
- Expansion plans in 2013 resulted in a new MGTS Technical Centre in Redditch to meet growing market demand for engineering apprentice training within the Worcestershire and South Birmingham area.
- In 2017 the Redditch Technical Centre was re-located to larger premises after a £1.5 million investment. This involved a private and public sector collaboration, with MGTS investing £800,000 and both Worcestershire LEP and Greater Birmingham and Solihull LEP investing £350,000 each through the Government’s Growth Deals.
- July 2019 saw local MP Rachel Maclean officially open a dedicated Food & Drink Engineering Maintenance (FDEM) apprenticeship facility at the Redditch Technical Centre. This expansion will help the whole of the food and drink industry to recruit much needed, highly skilled engineers.
- As an organisation we review our strategic objectives on a regular basis to ensure that we are best meeting the needs and expectations of our customers, apprentices and colleagues.
- Our key objectives are based upon:
– People Growth
– Product Innovation
– Commit to Excellence
– Stakeholder Engagement
– Charity Governance
