Norton motorcycles has been promised government backing for a new British Motorcycle Manufacturing Academy (BMMA) that has been set up to revive the British motorcycle manufacturing industry.
The BMMA is the brainchild of Stuart Garner, CEO of Norton and will provide a unique opportunity to young people in the UK to enter the British motorcycle manufacturing industry.
The support for the academy came about after Norton owner Stuart Garner posted a reply to a tweet by Chancellor of Exchequer George Osbourne talking about funding green engine technology. Garner introduced his company and sought help from Osbourne through a reply on Twitter and Osbourne’s office has reportedly got in touch with Norton offering help.
As part of the skills academy’s plans to revive the British motorcycling industry, youngsters will be trained to build motorcycles and motorcycle components in a three-year program. Norton is looking to recruit 40 apprentices between the ages of 16 and 18 by September, when the course will begin. It eventually plans to take in 100 trainees a year.
Garner, who bought Norton from American ownership in 2009, has been working to bring the brand back to its former glory and has had first-hand experience struggling to find suppliers and components for motorcycles. With the BMMA, Garner aims to not only train and develop a pool of manpower for the British motorcycling industry as a whole but also to provide an opportunity for youngsters to contribute to the success of an iconic British brand.
