Dominic Roach, a machinist at Cambridgeshire-based Precision Component Manufacturing Ltd (PCML), has graduated with a first-class degree in engineering from Anglia Ruskin University, after three years of part-time study at University Centre, Peterborough.
The 24-year old has worked for PCML for seven years, since leaving school in Wisbech.
He said: “I’ve had great support from PCML, from my HNC right through to completing my degree. The company has allowed me time off to study and attend the course; it has also encouraged me to use its latest CNC machines and other equipment, to learn hands-on.”
Lorraine Canham, PCML’s HR manager (

Dominic has now set his sights even higher. He added: “I want to become a professionally qualified engineer. Since this was an accredited course by the Institute of Engineering Technology, it takes me closer to achieving my ambition.”
