Double win for MPE apprentice Grace Pearson - a rising star in engineering

Huge congratulations to Grace Pearson, an apprentice at Manchester Precision Engineering Ltd, who has won not one, but two awards at the recent Tameside College ‘Student of the Year’ ceremony!

Grace was named ‘Engineering Student of the Year’ and went on to receive the top honour of overall ‘Student of the Year’, a truly outstanding achievement. We’re all very proud of her!

Held at Dukinfield Town Hall, the annual awards celebrate students for their dedication to learning and commitment to excellence. Winners are selected by a panel of judges from nominations submitted by teachers and staff.

As one of the largest private employers in East Manchester, this recognition reflects the Hyde Group’s strong commitment to nurturing talent at every level of the business. We take great pride in our long-standing investment in apprenticeships (like the one Grace is undertaking), work placements, and continuous professional development, all of which are central to the culture of learning we’ve built.
