Company congratulates Kassie Young on completing 4 year apprenticeship

Monday 26th July was an exciting day for Kassie Young and all those at Griffon Hoverwork who have worked alongside her since she joined us in December 2007. Since 19 year old Kassie started her apprenticeship, as well as attending college she has worked at Griffon Hoverwork in both Woolston and Hythe, Southampton. During this time she has played an integral role in the construction of hovercraft for the Kuwait Coastguard, Ministry of Defence and Peru Navy, to name just a few.

Mike Chalkley, Engineering Director, presented Kassie with a certificate confirming that she is now a fully qualified welder. Adrian Went, Managing Director of Griffon Hoverwork, said he is delighted with Kassie’s achievement and hopes to celebrate many more young apprentices progress during their time with the company.

This really was a week of celebrations as Griffon Hoverwork announced its latest contract win with the Indian Coastguard and the employees toasted both successes with a glass of champagne last Friday.
