National Gas invests £30 million in Derbyshire welding and training centre
National Gas is spending £30 million over five years at its Ambergate site in Derbyshire to build a Welding and Fabrication Centre and a Future Energy Training Centre. The investment will grow the site's workforce by 30% and train apprentices and engineers for the wider energy sector, alongside new recompression technology to cut operational emissions.
