James, Filton, UK
I started at GKN Aerospace in Filton as a Craft Apprentice. Fast forward to today and I’m the Operations Director at the same site. I’ve always felt supported, and I’ve developed my career with the learning tools and techniques available.
Stijn, Papendrecht, Netherlands
A good work/life balance is very important to me; it keeps me healthy and energized. Notably, in addition to my work, I am a professional Snowboard Cross athlete, and the company supports me on this journey. Flexibility around working patterns and remote working help make this possible. It's refreshing to be trusted to do a good job.
