Darrin Stevens, Polestar Group's training director attended the event and said: "We are extremely proud of Matthew, Michael and Daniel whose positive attitude and hard work have been acknowledged and rewarded.

They are a credit to the college, their companies and the Polestar Group.

Their achievements reflect the continuing success of our apprenticeship scheme, and in particular the introduction of an engineering module within it." There are currently 67 apprentices based at Polestar's UK gravure and web-offset plants, including seven engineering apprentices.

Twelve have already completed their apprenticeships and are now working full time across the Group.
