National Apprenticeships Week: Corey Gibson

We met Corey at Nottingham Colleges Meet the Employer event in May 2022, where he made an excellent impression on Managing Director Steve Cotton and Maintenance & R&D Manager Lewis Cotton at the event.

After being invited to Brightwake for a formal interview, Corey officially joined the team in September 2022 and is studying towards a 3-year Level 2 qualification in Mechanical Engineering alongside this.

Corey has been working in our busy R&D department learning from Lewis Cotton who joined Brightwake himself as an apprentice 10 years ago, and has now completed qualifications in Fabrication as well as Mechanical Engineering. He has been working on a variety of the different machines that Brightwake develop to manufacture all kinds of advanced healthcare products.

We are delighted that we can continue to support him as he begins his career and know that with the hard work and enthusiasm to progress he has already shown he will go on to lead a successful and fulfilled career.
