Silverson Machines is based in Waterside, Chesham, within walking distance from the train station which is served by the Metropolitan Line.
The first year as a Silverson Trainee is workshop-based in the dedicated training centre which was opened in 2015. Now into the 8th year the Apprenticeship scheme begins with instruction in good working practice and Health & Safety. This is followed by "hands on" training in practical skills starting with bench work and then progressing to milling and manual turning.
You can find out about what a 'Day in the Life' of one of our First year trainees in our Year 1 video featuring Jordan who has now progressed into the main factory:
Silverson Machines is a world leader in the design and manufacture of industrial mixers with 70 years experience. Our head office and factory in Chesham is one of the most advanced of its kind, designing and building equipment that is exported to over 150 countries to some of the worlds largest companies.
We are expanding rapidly at our headquarters and have set up our own apprenticeship scheme to provide us with the highly skilled workforce we need to continue our success.
