Mike Hatton Apollo Portsmouth - Lead VDA Worked here since:September 2004 What apprenticeship have you completed? I originally started off in the workshop as a met technician but after doing so well I was asked if I would like to start an in-house apprentice at the Chichester branch where I completed my VDA apprenticeship. What do you enjoy about working at Apollo? I enjoy working with such a great team of people and love that everyone wants to help each other learn. I also find my job to be extremely rewarding, as now I have taken on a lead role, I am able to pass down my knowledge to the two new apprentices in my team. What have you achieved with Apollo? At the time, I was one of the youngest employees to become a vehicle damage assessor, passing my ATA accreditation at the age of 23. However, my current apprentices are much younger at 17 and 19 and so the opportunity to help develop and train the future talent of Apollo is definitely my most fulfilling achievement to date.
