Sam Ivey - MCFT Team Leader

I've gone from trainee to team leader of South Coast Refrigeration – with the support and tools from MCFT, I was able to grow step by step. If you're hungry, show what you're capable of, and align with the vision; the progression is definitely there.

Shannon Leeson - MCFT Refrigeration Engineer

As an apprentice, I had the amazing opportunity to travel to the Netherlands to help out the MCFT Netherlands Team — it was a real eye-opener. The standards over there are completely different from the UK, which was a great learning experience. Since then, I’ve also had the chance to work in Scotland from time to time.
