Seventeen year old Paddy O’Flaherty, from Ashton near Preston, has joined Porsche Centre Preston as the Centre’s first Apprentice Technician.

 

In addition to on the job training alongside Porsche trained-Technicians, Paddy will visit the Porsche vocational training centre in Shrewsbury for two weeks in every six. The course will take three years to complete in total; culminating in an ‘Automotive Retail Standard - Motor Vehicle Service and Maintenance Technician’ qualification.

 

Paddy said: “This is a great opportunity for me. Like everyone else in Preston, I watched the Centre being built last year. It was exciting to see it take shape. Back then, I had no idea that this might be where I’d start work.

 

“I hope that one day my course will help me achieve a full-time role as a technician. I’ve already learned a lot. And every day I’m working with some of the most exciting cars on the planet.”

 

Away from work, Paddy is learning to drive; he’s a big Top Gear fan and plays football for Cadley FC.
