Vickers Oils runs a tour for University of Leeds students
During December 2023, we had students from the University of Leeds on site at Airedale Mills in Leeds to take part in a tour of our manufacturing site and laboratory.
It was great to welcome them and show them what we have to offer as a potential future employer and great to see their enthusiasm and interest in the lubrication and manufacturing industries.
The students were delivered an initial presentation by Chief Chemist, Stephen Sumner. Stephen then took them around our state of the art laboratory facility. Production Manager, Kevin Smith Cottle, then showed them around our large manufacturing facility.
This event took place on the back of our success at the University of Leeds careers fair in November 2023. We were delighted at the turnout and the amount of people who are interested in beginning their careers within the lubrication and manufacturing industries. Overall, the event was a huge success and we hope to explore this further in 2024.
