23 Oct Opening Our Doors to Future Talent 

Earlier this year, we welcomed applicants to our Fraserburgh site for our Recruitment Open Day, giving them the opportunity to see behind the scenes at Gray & Adams and learn more about the wide range of careers available across the business. 

Following the success of our apprentice Open Day in 2025, we expanded the event this year. Apprenticeship recruitment remained a key focus, but for the first time we also welcomed applicants who had applied for other vacancies across the business. 

Those attending were given a full tour of the site, taking them through the different stages of our manufacturing process and giving them visibility across all of our departments. This allowed applicants to see the full scale of our operations first-hand, understand how the different areas of the business come together to build our product and they also met some of the people behind the products we manufacture. 

For our apprenticeship applicants in particular, the tour provided a great introduction to the variety of trades and career pathways available. While some may have a set role or department in mind when they applied, this opportunity allowed them to experience the wider business and get a better understanding of where a career with Gray & Adams could potentially take them. 

The day also gave applicants the opportunity to speak with members of our team, ask questions and get a genuine feel for the working environment before progressing further through the recruitment process. 

It was fantastic to see such a strong level of interest in joining Gray & Adams, and even better, to see a number of those who attended the Open Day subsequently join the business. 

 A big thank you to everyone across the site who supported the event, welcomed our applicants and helped with the tours. Being able to open our doors and showcase the breadth of skills, departments and opportunities we have at Gray & Adams made the day a real success. 

 Following the success of this year’s event, we look forward to building on this again next year, continuing to develop the Open Day as a key part of our annual recruitment activity and creating an opportunity for the next group of potential employees and apprentices to see where a career with Gray & Adams could take them.
