Renishaw apprentices win prestigious industrial robotics contest
02 January 2025
TWO RENISHAW apprentices have been recognised as the brightest young talents in industrial robotics, winning the prestigious WorldSkills UK competition. Morgan Leyshon and Aled Gore, both 21 and from Bridgend, Wales, secured the gold medal in Industrial Robotics, beating over 80 contenders in an eight-month-long contest. The winners will now represent Team UK at the WorldSkills International Industrial Robotics competition in Shanghai, China in 2026.

"Morgan and Aled’s success underscores their advanced technical skills and the immense dedication and effort they have invested over the past year, setting an example for other aspiring engineers," commented Simon Biggs, early careers manager at Renishaw. "These apprentices are a great example of Renishaw’s commitment to fuelling innovation by attracting and nurturing young engineering talent. The pair demonstrated outstanding proficiency in programming robots to perform complex tasks, including creating a digital twin, showcasing their expertise in robotics and automation."
