Ongoing Investment in Apprenticeships
At VRS, we are committed to investing in the next generation of engineering talent.
Danny, who joined VRS in 2022 as a Deburrer and General Hand, demonstrated a strong interest in developing his skills further. In 2024, he embarked on an Apprenticeship programme and is now in his second year at PETA (Portsmouth Engineering Training Association), where he is progressing exceptionally well.
We are also delighted to welcome our newest apprentice, Sohan, who begins his 48-month apprenticeship this year with CEMAST (Centre of Excellence in Engineering, Manufacturing and Advanced Skills Training) in Fareham. Sohan first joined us for his school work experience placement earlier this year. His positive experience with the team inspired him to return to begin his career in engineering with VRS.

We are pleased to announce that on 18th December 2025, we will be taking delivery of a new Matsuura VX-1000 vertical machining centre, bringing the total number of Matsuura CNC milling machines on our shopfloor to six.
Renowned for their precision, reliability, and speed, Matsuura remains our preferred brand for CNC milling. The VX-1000 features a generous 1,200 x 600 mm table size, making it ideal for high-speed, precision engineering applications and further enhancing our machining capabilities.
