Xtraweld are pleased to welcome our 2 new eager apprentices, Harley and Lucca. Harley and Lucca are following in both their Father's footsteps starting their career within the metal industry and they joined us in July 2021. Already, they have made such a huge impact, gaining many qualifications and important life-long skills.

First Week:

After a tough get up, adjusting their alarm clocks to 6:00am instead of 8:00am, Harley and Lucca spent their first week familarising within the workshop an offices completing their inductions and training. They spent time with our sheetmetal specialist Craig and workshop manager Ash, who trained them up on various machines within the workshops.

Where are they now?

Both boys are now CSCS trained and have many other qualifications under their belt such as first aid, fire marshal and manual handling. They are with their mentor Nico who keeps a close eye on the boys during their time on site for their safety whilst also allowing the boys to learn the different 'tricks of the trade.'

We are very proud of both boys and how far they have come since July and are hoping that they blossom into hard working men who will eventually lead site teams of their own.

Defibrillator Back on the High Street After Vandalism

The new season is a great reason to make and keep resolutions. Whether it’s eating right or cleaning out the garage, here are some tips for making and keeping resolutions.

Make a list
Lists are great ways to stay on track. Write down some big things you want to accomplish and some smaller things, too.

Check the list regularly
Don’t forget to check in and see how you’re doing. Just because you don’t achieve the big goals right away doesn’t mean you’re not making progress.

Reward yourself
When you succeed in achieving a goal, be it a big one or a small one, make sure to pat yourself on the back.

Think positively
Positive thinking is a major factor in success. So instead of mulling over things that didn’t go quite right, remind yourself of things that did.

NHS Rainbows

"The symbolism of a Rainbow intuitively tells us to hold onto hope"

Xtraweld Services Ltd had the pleasure of designing and fabricating something very different to our usual scope of work.

The pandemic had a huge impact on everyone. We were approached to come up with something to help people who were worse affected by Covid, to bring them some small happiness whilst they were in hospital and also for somewhere where the key workers of the hospital could have 5 minutes of peace. We couldn't thing of anything better than these rainbows which are featured at the gardens within Stafford County Hospital and UHNS.

Covid was a awful time for everyone, loosing loved ones and adapting to a new way of life. Many patients were in hospital on their own facing the awful effects of Covid and we hope these rainbows were able to bring some joy for them during this time. Xtraweld Services Ltd would like to thank all the employees who were involved in both the fabrication and installation of these.
