Feb 2 2012 by Faaizah Ali, North Wales Weekly News

A YOUNG apprentice has become one of five new recruits at a Rhuallt caravan manufacturer.

Lee Evans from Kinmel Bay is doing a Manufacturing Apprenticeship which focuses on all aspects of assembling and fitting out Fifth Wheel’s range of tourers and caravan units.

“Before starting the apprenticeship I went to college and did a gas installation and maintenance course,” said Lee, 17.

“I applied to do the apprenticeship as I wanted more experience on the practical side of manufacturing as this is the career I want to progress in.”

He will work four days a week at Fifth Wheel for on-the-job training and spend one day a week completing theory work at Coleg Llandrillo which will go towards his NVQ qualification.
