AESSEAL Sponsors Get Up To Speed with STEM for 6th year

The Rotherham-based company AESSEAL, one of the world’s leading suppliers of mechanical seals and support systems, attended the recent Get Up To Speed with STEM event as Gold headline sponsors for the sixth year running.

Led by The Work-wise Foundation, Get Up To Speed aims to showcase the world of work to young people and offer the opportunity for businesses to engage with the next generation and with each other.
At the Business Breakfast, attended by special guest Dame Julie Kenny DBE, DL, businesses joined together to discuss their journeys and strategies in meeting the dual challenges of growth and becoming a sustainable business, and how skills are at the heart of this.

Keynote speakers included Richard Sulley - Net Zero Project Director, and Tom Rumboll from SYNETIQ Ltd. A panel discussion included contributions from Ava Jones (Head of Marketing, AESSEAL), Marie Cooper (CEO, CBE+), Ian Nicholls (Group Technical Director, Sheffield Forgemasters), Richard Sulley, and Tom Rumboll.

AESSEAL also held a mechanical seal workshop, where students were able to build their own mechanical seals and learn about the components within a seal. Past and present apprentices also spoke at the event to share their journey through the business.

By supporting the event, AESSEAL aims to encourage young people to understand the importance of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) subjects, thus helping to inspire future engineers.
