Gemini Accident Repair Centres Announce Mac Tools as Official Tooling Partner for Award-Winning Apprenticeship Programme!
To launch this partnership, Gemini has created the Mac Tools X Gemini ARC X EMTEC collaboration, marking the start of an innovative partnership.
This collaboration begins with the launch of the MacNIFICENT Toolbox design competition, which merges creativity, automotive skills, and charitable giving. Mac Tools has generously donated 10 large toolboxes to EMTEC College, challenging Gemini ARC apprentices to repair, paint, and bring to life unique toolbox designs they have sketched. This project showcases the apprentices’ technical skills as well as their artistic vision and creativity.
Once completed, these uniquely designed toolboxes will be raffled off, with proceeds benefiting various partnering charities.
As a leader in the accident repair industry, Gemini ARC is extremely proud to partner with Mac Tools, a renowned name in high-quality automotive tooling.
Dave Sargeant, Managing Director of Gemini Accident Repairs comments, “We are excited about this new partnership and collaboration. The toolbox design competition is more than just a contest; it’s an opportunity for our apprentices to showcase their talents, acquire new skills, and contribute to a meaningful cause by gifting the finished toolboxes to our charity partners and associates. Both the partnership and collaboration bring together something new and exciting, offering something unique and enhancing our apprenticeship programmes.”
“We are delighted to be the official tool partner for Gemini Accident Repair Centre’s award-winning apprenticeship programme. We believe it is important for young people starting out in their careers to still be able to access to premium quality tools, to enable them to reach their full potential and complete their work to the highest standards. Joining forces with Gemini ARC allows us to reach a new audience in the automotive repair industry and further enhances Gemini ARC’s hugely successful apprentice programme. This is a very exciting time for everyone involved. The competition to design the ultimate toolbox to celebrate the launch of this collaboration is just the first step on this journey. The winning designs look fantastic, and I look forward to seeing the toolboxes transform over the coming months!” Mark Henderson, Commercial Director, Mac Tools UK.
EMTEC’s role in the competition ensures that the apprentices receive top-tier training and support throughout the process. “This partnership is a fantastic way for our students to apply their learning in a real-world context, and we’re proud to be a part of it,” said Karl Clay, Curriculum Manager of EMTEC.
The Toolbox design competition marks the beginning of a new partnership between Gemini ARC and Mac Tools. As Gemini ARC enters Cohort 10 of its Multi-Skilled Apprenticeship Programme, having onboarded over 100 apprentices since 2017, they will soon share more exciting news on how this partnership has grown and benefits both their apprentices and employees.
