Albert Webdale, one of our Motor Vehicle apprentices, has had a dream week of work experience at the final round of the World Rally Championship in Wales last weekend. Sixteen-year-old Albert from Cliburn is completing a motor vehicle Fast Fit Apprenticeship with us and was fortunate to be offered the opportunity by Carlisle-based tyre manufacturer DMACK Tyres.

Albert got the enviable experience when DMACK offered the placement to System Training. Our motor vehicle apprentices are fully trained in changing tyres and brakes but the opportunity to work on a demanding round of the world championship was a massive challenge.

DMACK is one of only two tyre manufacturers authorised to supply the world’s best drivers with specialist rally tyres and Albert helped the company fit over 400 ch...

The latest generation of the famous Stobart trucking family has taken to the road after passing his lorry driving test and gaining his heavy goods vehicle licence. Twenty-year-old Edd Stobart, son of Stobart Group Chief Operating Officer William Stobart, was trained by System Training and passed his test first time.

Edd continues the Stobart road haulage dynasty and follows in the wheel tracks of his uncle, the late Edward Stobart, who grew the Eddie Stobart trucking business into the iconic company we know today.
