The leading manufacturer of cable glands, cleats and accessories, CMP Products has turned STEM career dreams into reality for Maddison Wren after appointing her as a design technician.

Maddison (24), who comes from Ashington, joined CMP in 2018 as an apprentice CNC machinist and has been working towards her goal of becoming a qualified Mechanical Engineer ever since.

She’s currently undertaking an HND in Mechanical Engineering and hopes to complete a top-up year after that to get a BSc in the same subject.

“No one in my family has ever studied or worked in engineering, but from my very first days at high school I loved doing design and technology lessons,” said Maddison.

“When it came to choosing my GCSEs, Engineering was a new subject and because it was so similar to Design and Technology, I decided to study it, and then carried on with it into my A-Levels.”

“University wasn’t something I ever planned to do, as I’d always wanted to complete an apprenticeship alongside further study and, thankfully, a family friend recommended I talk to our local apprenticeship and training supplier, TDR Training. They helped me narrow down my specific engineering interest and I applied for CMP Products via the British Engines apprenticeship scheme. I still feel incredibly lucky that the day I did my interview I was offered the job.”

CMP is dedicated to fostering an inclusive environment that supports and encourages women in STEM careers. At its UK headquarters in Cramlington, the company takes pride in the increasing number of women choosing to build their STEM careers with them.
