Our welding and fabrication apprentices in Rotherham have been hard at work on a range of practical projects that are now being used both internally and within the wider community.   One of the latest projects completed by the apprentices is a fabricated access platform that is now being used within the fabrication department at MTL Advanced. The platform has been designed to provide welders and fabricators with safe and easy access when working at height or reaching high points on larger fabrications. From measuring and cutting through to fabrication and assembly, the apprentices played a key role throughout the entire process, gaining valuable hands-on experience while producing a finished product that is now supporting day-to-day operations on the shop floor. The apprentices have also recently completed the fabrication of a number of heavy-duty barriers for use around the workshop. Working as part of a team, the apprentices welded together

A unique horse sculpture, made by apprentices from our Engineering Academies in Rotherham and Blackburn, has been unveiled at MTL Advanced, highlighting the exceptional standards being achieved across our training programmes. Named Doublet, the sculpture was fully designed and manufactured by a team of four apprentices, with all work completed in-house. From laser cutting and fabrication through to polishing, the project was delivered using a range of advanced techniques. Over a three-week period, the team collectively dedicated 384 hours to the build, gaining valuable hands-on experience at every stage. The sculpture was commissioned to commemorate the visit of HRH The Princess Royal to our Rotherham facility. Its name pays tribute to HRH The Princess Royal’s own horse, while the design itself reflects her long-standing involvement in equestrian sport. During the visit, Doublet was formally presented alongside a commemorative plaque, marking the occasion and providing a lasting symbol of the day.

We had a fantastic time at the LAMMA Show 2026, held at the NEC in Birmingham. As the UK’s leading agricultural machinery and technology event, LAMMA gave us the ideal platform to showcase MTL Advanced’s engineering and fabrication expertise to farmers, contractors and agricultural professionals from across the country. Over the two days, from 14–15 January, we connected with a wide range of visitors and fellow exhibitors.  At our stand, we demonstrated how our advanced fabrication and precision engineering capabilities support the agricultural supply chain. We showed visitors and exhibitors how our decades of experience in metal fabrication, welding and engineering help manufacturers and suppliers develop robust, innovative and cost-effective machinery. We also shared insights on tackling real-world challenges and discussed how our solutions can meet the evolving needs of the industry. We took full advantage of the networking and knowledge-sharing opportunities at LAMMA. We exchanged ideas with industry leaders,
