🎥 Meet one of our newest apprentices, Ben!

A big welcome to our newest apprentices! 👋

Over the course of September, 55 new apprentices will begin their careers with Tata Steel UK across nine locations.

Yesterday, 48 of our new starters had their first day across Port Talbot, Trostre, Llanwern, Catnic, Shotton Colors, Shotton Building Systems and Hartlepool, with Steelpark and Corby welcoming their new apprentices later this month.

They’ll be developing their skills across a range of roles, from electrical and mechanical engineering to fabrication and welding, machining, process control and automation, and degree apprenticeships.

Mechanical Training Instructor Craig Lancett knows exactly where that first day can lead – he started his own career as an apprentice at the steelworks 27 years ago.

💬 “I started as a mechanical apprentice myself, so it’s about taking what I’ve learnt throughout my career and passing that on to the next cohort.”

We also caught up with new mechanical engineering degree apprentices Charlotte Price and Rebecca Jones on their first day at Port Talbot.

Good luck to all our new apprentices as they start this exciting new chapter! 👏

Prime Minister visits Tata Steel UK in Port Talbot

Last week, we welcomed Prime Minister Andy Burnham MP, Welsh Secretary Stephen Kinnock MP and Deputy First Minister of Wales Sioned Williams AS/MS MS to our Port Talbot site.

Hosted by Tata SteelCEO & MD TV Narendran and Tata Steel UK CEO Rajesh Nair, the visit was an opportunity to showcase the significant progress being made on Project Invictus and the scale of our investment in the future of UK steelmaking.

During almost three hours on site, the Prime Minister met colleagues working on the project, apprentices and trade union representatives, and saw first-hand the work underway to deliver the most significant transformation in UK steelmaking in a generation.

The visit also provided an opportunity to discuss the importance of steel to the UK’s manufacturing economy and the challenges facing the industry, including recent changes to UK and EU trade measures.

A huge thank you to everyone across Tata Steel UK who helped make the visit a success. 👏

Civil Centurions are still the team to beat at Tata Steel UK’s annual cricket celebration! 🏆

The Asset Integrity Management (AIM) team retained the Hayley’s Day Main Trophy, completing an impressive hat-trick of silverware across the tournament’s first three years.

Hosted by Tata Steel Cricket Club and supported by Hayley Dexis, the day brought colleagues, families and friends together for an afternoon of six-a-side softball cricket, healthy rivalry and plenty of team spirit.

Civil Centurions player Manikanta Kapaganti said: “What makes Hayley’s Day special is seeing people from across Tata Steel UK come together. The cricket is great, but the atmosphere, teamwork and community spirit are what really make the day.”

Congratulations to the Civil Centurions and everyone who took part! 👏🏏

A warm welcome to Diana Rogers, who has joined UK Steel Enterprise’s (UKSE) investment team in Wales as Investment Executive.

As a subsidiary of Tata Steel UK, UKSE plays an important role in our ongoing commitment to supporting the economic regeneration of communities affected by changes in the steel industry.

For more than 50 years, UKSE has supported businesses in steel communities across the UK with finance, business premises, help and advice, encouraging job creation and helping local economies thrive.

In Wales, UKSE’s Support Programme for Wales saw £4.6 million invested in 106 businesses, including 50 start-ups, helping to create and sustain around 520 jobs for former steelworkers and the wider workforce.

Diana brings extensive experience across asset finance and private credit and is looking forward to working with Welsh SMEs to develop their growth plans and create lasting jobs.

Diana said: “I am excited to be working as Investment Executive with UKSE at this time, especially as the organisation aims to make a social impact, creating jobs and supporting steel communities.”

Welcome to the team, Diana! 👏

Going the extra mile for Macmillan Cancer Support 💚

Corby colleagues Andrew Stephenson and Andy Armstrong are taking on an incredible challenge this year – completing two marathon-distance Macmillan Mighty Hikes.

They’ve already conquered 26.2 miles through the Peak District in just over eight hours, with the Northumberland Coast next on the list this September.

The pair are walking in memory of former colleagues Kenny Smart and Ciaran Warren, making every mile this year particularly meaningful.

And this isn’t their first Mighty Hike! Since 2022, Andrew and Andy have taken on challenges along the Thames Path, Norfolk Coast and through the Lake District, all to raise money for Macmillan Cancer Support.

“What started as a simple lunchtime walk to get out of the office has grown into something much bigger. This year, every step really does matter,” said Andrew.

Well done both, and good luck for the next 26.2 miles! 👏

Back in the saddle – 43 years later! 🚲

Tata Steel UK colleague Tony Ghale has given his childhood racing bike a new lease of life – and is now using it to cycle to work at our Steelpark site.

Tony bought his TI Raleigh Team bike in 1983 after saving up money from his paper round. When it needed some specialist TLC more than four decades later, he tracked down Fred Williams Cycles in Wolverhampton – the very same family-run shop that originally sold him the bike!

Now back on the road, Tony is enjoying swapping rush-hour traffic for a scenic ride along the canal.

“Cycling to work has improved my physical and mental wellbeing, and gives me a great start to the day. I arrive feeling more energised than when I drive.”

And there’s a fitting connection to Steelpark too – the TI logo on Tony’s bike stands for Tube Investments, whose former steel tube operations eventually became part of what is today Tata Steel’s Steelpark Service Centre.

Not bad for a 43-year-old bike! 🚲👏

A huge thank you to our colleagues at Shotton who supported emergency responders during a water rescue near Hawarden railway bridge last week.

Members of our Security and Internal Emergency Services teams worked alongside the emergency services at the scene, helping ensure access and response activities could be carried out safely.

The man was successfully rescued from the water and given immediate assistance before being placed in the care of the emergency services.

April Wilkinson, Technical Manager at Shotton, said:

“A huge thank you to members of the Tata Steel and Security teams who assisted with the emergency incident.

The actions of everyone involved helped ensure a positive outcome, and we thank them for their support and professionalism.”

A fantastic example of teamwork and professionalism from everyone involved.
