New Master Coachmaker Confirms Support For Apprentices

September 21, 2017 by Mr Butterscotch Leave a Comment

The new Master Coachmaker, Tony Edwards, elected by The Worshipful Company of Coachmakers and Coach Harness Makers at the start of September 2017, has vowed to continue the Company’s 340 year tradition of support for apprentices and young people.

Speaking at his installation as Master Coachmaker, Tony said: “Every year the Coachmakers Livery invests an increasing amount of money in young people. Last year it was £80,000. In previous years we have made awards to Royal College of Art students, one of whom became the Chief Designer of Rolls-Royce and another who became the Chief Designer of Jaguar. We also actively help Motorvations, a recognised professional organisation, which aims to improve the confidence, self-esteem, social skills, knowledge and life chances of young people, and enable them to move into mainstream training or employment.”

Tony called on his fellow Coachmakers for support to help build the Coachmakers’ Trust, which provides funds to invest in the future career development of young people to do all manner of incredible and wonderful things in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics.

Tony himself started his career as a Rolls-Royce apprenticed engineer who later led a number of engineering-based companies in the USA, Denmark, Canada and the UK. Eventually he was seconded to the MoD where he served as Head of DESO (Defence Export Services Organisation). He has led much fundraising activity in aid of military aviation charities. He joined the Coachmakers in 1999 and will serve as Master Coachmaker until September 2018.

During Tony’s year as Master, the Royal Air Force will celebrate its 100th anniversary. This important aviation and aerospace landmark will be the focus of the Coachmaker’s Banquet to be staged at the Guildhall in April 2018 in co-operation with the Lord Mayor, the Honourable Company of Air Pilots and the Worshipful Company of Engineers.
