The yearly intake of Apprentices was very high and competition for places was keen. High quality craft training, coupled with day and sometimes block release to Peterborough Technical College provided a springboard, not only into skilled craftsmanship, but drawing office and works technician apprenticeships. Some were taken in as student apprentices and joined the ranks of direct-entry and sixth-form students to follow sandwich degree courses in engineering at universities and polytechnics. In the late 60s/early 70s Baker Perkins had 1,000 apprentices under training in its UK factories.
Most of the 1954 to 1963 photographs include both Student and Craft Apprentices. Those for 1984 to 1990 are of Student Apprentices only.

A number of negatives have been located at Peterborough Museum which show Apprentices recruited between 1962 and 1974. Unfortunately, it appears that during this period, no group photos were taken, only single "heads" for administration purposes. We calculate that there are some 250 negatives involved. Clearly, scanning these is too big a task for the Museum staff to contemplate at this time.
However, we have located a comprehensive list of Apprentices joining the Company during this period. We have divided this list into three sections: 1963-67, 1968-73 and 1974-79. We hope that this will serve as an adequate record and can only apologise to those ex-apprentices affected.
