With just one week to go until the UK's first Vocational Celebration Day, preparations are well underway at Teagle Machinery Ltd in Truro, Cornwall, as the company gets ready to host a national celebration of vocational skills. 

On 6 August, broadcaster Steph McGovern will present a special livestream from Teagle, celebrating the apprentices, learners and skilled professionals whose talents keep engineering and manufacturing moving. 

As a business with apprentices at the heart of its future, Teagle is proud to showcase the value of vocational learning and inspire more people to consider technical careers. 

Putting apprentices in the spotlight 

For Teagle, hosting the first Vocational Celebration Day is about recognising the people who are shaping the future of the business every day. 

Tom Teagle, Managing Director at Teagle Machinery, said: "On the 6th of August, Teagle are proud to be hosting the first National Vocational Celebration Day. We're delighted to be having Steph McGovern down here in Cornwall celebrating live across the UK. 

“Our apprentice team are key to shaping the future of our business and their skills and enthusiasm deserve to be recognised. We're ready to show the country what Teagle apprentices can do!" 

Teagle has long invested in developing skilled people through apprenticeships, helping learners build rewarding careers while strengthening the future workforce needed by engineering and manufacturing. 

Hosting Vocational Celebration Day is an opportunity to celebrate those achievements, while shining a light on the role vocational routes play in supporting businesses across the UK.
