Engineers and apprentices will have access to cutting edge technology, training delivered by an Ofsted “Outstanding” provider and expertise of some of the country’s most innovative and forward looking manufacturers. The ingredients are all there to ensure we can train the most technically advanced manufacturing professionals in the world.” STUART GARNER CEO, Norton Motorcycles Stuart bought Norton in 2008 from American businessman Ollie Curme, who had tried and failed to relaunch it in North America. Stuart has since invested millions in the venture, initially opening a factory at Donington Park, where the first bikes rolled off the production line in 2010.
