Cruden Group welcomes annual intake of modern apprentices
CRUDEN Group, an independent construction group, continues to prove its commitment to developing Scotland’s young workforce and tackling the skills shortage within the construction industry. It welcomes this year’s intake of thirteen new apprentices, including two female apprentices, painter Caitlin MacGregor and joiner Caitlin Sheekey. The new modern apprentices
will become part of the 80-plus strong team of apprentices that the Cruden Group trains every year. As one of Scotland’s largest independent construction firms, the company has been delivering a modern and
graduate apprentice programme for almost 50 years and continues to invest heavily in maximising local training and employment opportunities across Scotland. Over 60 young people applied
for the roles and, following a series of tests and interviews, thirteen eager new recruits, ranging in age from 16 to 20 years old have been selected to embark on a four-year modern apprenticeship programme as joiners, painters, plumbers and bricklayers, where they will learn their chosen trade through practical on the job training, while also working towards a formal qualification.
Glasgow Distillery’s new still ‘Frances’
Glasgow Distillery celebrates city’s great female artists with naming of new whisky stills
THE Glasgow Distillery has announced the exciting arrival and naming of two new whisky stills which have recently been installed at their premises in Hillington. After months of deliberation, the stills have been
christened ‘Margaret’ and ‘Frances’ in honour of two of Glasgow’s most influential female artists. Towards the end of the 19th Century, Margaret MacDonald and her sister, Frances MacDonald, moved to Glasgow and enrolled at The Glasgow School of Art. Both became prominent members of 'The Glasgow Girls', a group of pioneering female artists who had an undeniable influence on forging the iconic ‘Glasgow Style’ of art which the city still celebrates to this day. The new stills, which are identical replicas of The
Glasgow Distillery’s two existing whisky stills, Tara and Mhairi, double the distillery’s production capabilities to approximately 440,000 litres a year – the equivalent of over 1 million bottles of their single malt scotch whisky, 1770.
