Celebrating craftsmanship and sharing skills is integral to Purdey and has been from the start. Today, our apprenticeship scheme is the best of the best, highly respected, extremely thorough and enjoyable too. It takes place over a five-year period, in which you’ll specialise meticulously in one area of gun craft – whether stockmaking, finishing, engraving, actioning, or elsewhere in the factory depending on your skills and interests – learning from our master craftspeople, before presenting your work to the judging panel and receiving your certificate. From there, many of those who start out as apprentices with Purdey go on to become masters themselves,
showing the quality of our training and potential for longevity in the industry.
