Total Weighing Solutions Invests in the Future of Legal Metrology Through UKWF Apprenticeship

At Total Weighing Solutions, we believe that investing in people is just as important as investing in technology. That is why we are proud to support Henry Sullivan as he joins the inaugural UK Weighing Federation (UKWF) Legal Metrology Apprenticeship Scheme, helping to develop the next generation of professionals in the UK weighing and legal metrology industry.

As one of the UK’s trusted providers of industrial weighing equipment, weighing system calibration, servicing, verification and legal metrology services, we understand that maintaining high standards depends on knowledgeable, skilled and ethical professionals. Supporting apprentices is part of our long-term commitment to quality, compliance and the future of the industry.

Developing the Next Generation of Weighing Professionals

The UKWF Legal Metrology Apprenticeship has been developed to provide specialist training for those working in the weights and measures sector. The programme combines technical knowledge with practical industry experience, ensuring apprentices gain a comprehensive understanding of the legislation, standards and engineering principles that underpin legal metrology in the UK.

Henry has already completed the first two learning blocks, covering an impressive range of subjects including:

• Materials science
• Legal metrology and weights and measures legislation
• The roles of central and local government in regulatory enforcement
• Industry standards and compliance
• ATEX legislation and working safely in hazardous areas

The programme brings together leading experts from across the weighing industry, providing apprentices with valuable insight from experienced professionals while encouraging discussion, collaboration and continuous learning.

Investing in Skills, Quality and Trust

For Total Weighing Solutions, supporting apprentices is about far more than training one individual. It is about helping to safeguard the future of an industry that relies on accuracy, integrity and public confidence.

Every weighing system used in trade, manufacturing, logistics, food production and many other sectors must meet rigorous standards. By investing in highly trained engineers and legal metrology professionals, we help ensure our customers continue to receive reliable, compliant and accurate weighing solutions.

Our commitment to developing people reflects the same values that underpin every aspect of our business:

• Technical excellence
• Honest and ethical working practices
• Compliance with UK legislation and industry standards
• Outstanding customer service
• Continuous investment in skills and innovation

These principles have helped establish Total Weighing Solutions as a trusted partner for businesses across the UK that depend on accurate, reliable and legally compliant weighing equipment.

Looking Ahead

We are delighted to see Henry making such a positive start to the UKWF apprenticeship and look forward to supporting him throughout the programme. His enthusiasm and commitment reflect the future of our industry, and we are proud to play our part in developing the skilled professionals who will support UK businesses for years to come.

At Total Weighing Solutions, we remain committed to investing in people, supporting the highest standards of legal metrology and delivering weighing solutions our customers can trust.
