NEWS - Apprentices! This year, we are proud to announce that we are starting two apprentices at White Horse Plastics: identical twins Dexter and Theo Kent from Buckland, Oxfordshire. They are a great fit for us - their enthusiasm for engineering is abundant and began long before they had to think about careers. They were home-schooled from 2020, and during this time they saved up and bought a 3D printer, which they used to print their own projects. Apart from their interest in engineering, they are also members of their local gliding club, and we were impressed to learn that Theo flew solo for the first time when he was just 14 and a half! We were similarly impressed to discover that Dexter had played the Duke of York in the recent production of Shakespeare’s Richard III at Blenheim Palace. They are clearly a talented and adventurous pair. They will be attending Abingdon & Witney College to undertake a Mechanical Engineering apprenticeship. With us, they will be working in and developing skills across a multitude of injection moulding and general engineering disciplines, which they will subsequently apply to our medical, consumer and engineering projects. They will also be among the first generation of young engineers to work with biopolymers - this is a rapidly growing area of our business as we have chosen to specialise in the moulding of next generation, sustainable materials. Welcome Dexter and Theo! 😊 #Apprenticeships #tvcc #AbingdonCollege #biopolymers #medtech

We are celebrating! This month marks the fifth anniversary of our ISO accreditation 13485 for the manufacture of injection moulded components for medical devices. Since then, our portfolio has grown significantly and we now mould, assemble and pack millions of parts a year at our premises in South Oxfordshire. These include complex assemblies, lab consumables and optics. Last year we also assisted with the reshoring of 19 healthcare components from China and began partnerships with several, award winning, sustainable start-ups. #ISO13485 https://lnkd.in/eCUsmYyR

Over the past few years, we've collaborated with a growing number of start-ups with sustainable objectives, some of which are already winning awards for their work.

I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to all the staff at White Horse Plastics Limited Plastics for their warm and engaging support during my time on-site delivering the PD1 module on injection moulding for beginners. Always great to see White Horse Plastics Limited committing to training not just the Setters/ technicians but also giving the opportunity to everyone involved in the business to increase their knowledge of the injection moulding process. The staff's enthusiasm and willingness to learn made the training experience enjoyable and rewarding. Thank you for the opportunity to work with such a dedicated team.
