Yeadon student Stuart Philipson has become the first apprentice in the 24-year history of rapidly expanding Leeds healthcare company Xiros.
Educated at Benton Park School, Rawdon, Stuart now undertakes a four-year scheme, split between Xiros and Bradford College, where he will study for a degree in mechanical engineering and a BTec national certificate.
Stuart, who plays bass in local heavy rock group Out of the Embers, said: “Career-wise this is all I’ve ever wanted to do.”
