Oscar Jenkins, now a skilled bodywork technician, grew up steeped in engineering. "My dad and my mum's dad work at Rolls-Royce in Derby. I spent my childhood in granddad's shed building random things from him, and dad would come home from work and tell me what he was working on. I also have an interest in heritage trains; from the age of 13, I volunteered at a heritage railway restoring diesel engines." His interest in bodywork came from this work on the railway, he says: "I learned about restoration, and bodywork ties into restoration: it's about making it look right again." When he was interested in finding an apprenticeship, he was attracted to Trentbarton, whose services run outside his house, because of its small scale and ties to the community. Jenkins was soon apprenticed at its Langley Mill, Derbyshire head office depot. |
