HERITAGE AUTOMOTIVE - INSPIRATION AND EDUCATION IN THE CENTRAL COURTYARD

The Heritage Skills Academy, Vintage Sports Car Club and The Worshipful Company of Coachmakers and Coach Harness makers are coming together to educate and inspire in an attempt to reach out and get more youngsters involved in the dark art of automotive engineering and coachbuilding.

· The UK historic vehicle sector contributes £7.3 billion, annually to the economy.
· As of 2025 over 1.5 million historic vehicles are registered in the UK, with the total value of the vehicle fleet estimated at over £12.6 billion.

This is a much underestimated area of employment and in turn, we equally need to attract our young people into this sector in order to maintain our classic car and motorsport world.

The Heritage Skills Academy is the UK’s leading apprenticeship programme company in Automotive mechanical engineering and coachbuilding. heritageskillsacademy.co.uk

The Vintage Sport Car Club is a leading light when encouraging youngsters into historic motorsport, making it just as cool as F1, but possibly with a bit more mud! vscc.co.uk

The Worshipful Company of Coach Makers and Coach Harness makers, a City of London Livery company, displaying the historical progress of horses and carriages to the cars we own today. Their charitable purpose is creating bursaries and apprenticeships for young people in both the automotive and aerospace professions. coachmakers.co.uk

Come and learn about your options if you would like to be an automotive engineer or coachbuilder!
