The deadline to apply for the Bentley Motors 2026 Apprenticeship Programme is looming.
The firm, based on Pyms Lane in Crewe, is inviting the next generation of talent to begin their careers with one of the world’s most iconic automotive brands.
The programme offers 25 individuals a chance to learn, grow and help shape the future of mobility at Bentley.
Bentley’s apprenticeship programmes have run for more than 40 years and play a key role in the company’s success.
The 2026 intake will offer apprenticeship opportunities across manufacturing, R&D, sales and marketing, finance, quality, Mulliner, strategy and product lines.
Apprentices will be based at Bentley’s “Dream Factory” in Crewe and work at the heart of the business.
Apprenticeships will start in September 2026 and will be offered at a range of levels, including Advanced Apprenticeships (equivalent to two A Level passes), Higher Apprenticeships (equivalent to a foundation degree, Higher National Certificate or Higher National Diploma), and Degree Apprenticeships offering progression equivalent to a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree.
Those interested in applying must do before the end of Friday February 20th.
Dr Karen Lange, Member of the Board for People and Culture at Bentley Motors, said: “For 40 years, our apprenticeship programmes have been a powerful engine for innovation, craftsmanship and progress, enabling talented individuals to turn ambition into impact.
“As we transform Bentley through our Beyond100+ strategy, it is the curiosity, creativity and technical excellence of the next generation that will define how we lead the industry forward.
“Investing in young people today is how we secure sustainable success for decades to come.”
Sophie Reynolds, degree apprentice in Product Strategy, added: “Bentley drew me in as a relatively small company where I could build close relationships, get hands on in real business activities, and gain exposure all the way up to the Executive Board.
“Being within the luxury automotive sector, you get a real understanding of the impact of a customer, and how every team in the business contributes to industry leading excellence.
“My apprenticeship has taken me on placements across Product Strategy, Product Line Delivery, Manufacturing, R&D, and a stint internationally in Porsche.
“Through the opportunities, responsibility, exposure, events, projects, and extra-curricular work that I have been involved with through Bentley’s apprenticeship programme I have achieved more than I ever expected, ultimately winning a national award through MAKE UK, as this year’s Business Apprentice Rising Star.”
