Creating Future Leaders at Syspal

Syspal Ltd is based in the heart of the Shropshire countryside and despite their rural location, they are on the cutting edge of manufacturing. Apprentices learn from qualified, experienced peers and work on products from a wide variety of hygiene-conscious industries including food, pharmaceutical, veterinary and medical.

Products are distributed internationally and used worldwide thanks to the large export demand for high-quality food processing, animal welfare and healthcare products.

As a business Syspal supports employees to develop skills and knowledge that are directly relevant to their jobs and aims to create future leaders, progression is advocated throughout the training. Many employees at Syspal started their working life as apprentices in departments including design and welding and thanks to a quality apprenticeship training scheme, several of those former apprentices are now part of the management team.

All employees are encouraged to think in terms of innovation and continual improvement and this has led to the growing importance of product development and digital systems within the business. Innovations in manufacturing include paperless production systems, a virtual reality studio, 3D printing and solid modelling design software. Manufacturing equipment can be programmed directly from design models which in the case of sheet metal fabrication negates the need for blank developments.  

Syspal has 160 employees including 12 apprentices and takes full advantage of the Apprenticeship Levy. Working at Syspal will not only provide valuable skills and knowledge but it also the opportunity to build personal confidence and develop a career within an exciting and internationally expanding business.

Made Futures was created to encourage people to get jobs in manufacturing, in support of those who have lost their jobs over the course of the 2020 pandemic. There's still time to sign up and be part of the exhibition by filling in the form here
