March 21 2012 MG apprentices could visit China Apprentices joining MG Motor UK could have the chance of a trip of a lifetime visit to China. The trip is part of a comprehensive two year Advanced Apprenticeship Scheme being launched by MG as it invests in people for the future. Successful candidates could earn an HNC or HND qualification and possibly a job at the MG Birmingham plant. MG Birmingham is where the award-winning MG6 is designed, engineered and where final assembly of the GT fastback and Magnette sports saloon takes place. Youngsters joining the MG scheme will train in General Assembly, where the MG6 models come off the assembly lines, and in the Sales and Marketing Department. In their first year apprentices will earn £7,654 and exceptional candidates will have the chance to go to China and visit MG’s parent company, SAIC Motor, in their second year. SAIC is the eighth biggest car company in the world and sold more than 4 million cars last year. HR Manager, Louise Lane, said: “This is a really exciting opportunity for youngsters to join in what is the birth of the new MG. For the right candidates, this will be the start of a great career in the industry.” Applicants will need five GCSEs including Maths, English and a core science subject. The MG scheme will start in August and the closing date for applicants is April 8. Applications can be made at: http://www.apprenticeships.org.uk The MG Motor UK apprenticeship scheme is in addition to a graduate engineering training programme that was announced recently. Successful candidates on the graduate scheme will work at the SAIC Motor Technical Centre (SMTC UK) at the MG Birmingham site.

My neighbor was having a sale as well so I was secure in the fact that I was soon to be swimming in extra money. You know, like Uncle Scrooge in his money bin. As people came up my driveway HOOSIER MGS to the garage they either stopped or slowed to admire the GT. Next came the litany of questions about the car and if it was for OOOI Chairman: sale.

Mg: the India Chapter
MAKING DREAMS COME TRUE SINCE 1924 MG: THE INDIA CHAPTER A million speeding lines, a 96-year-old legacy, and our fingers on the pulse of innovation. We are a British fashion icon but also pop culture’s best mate. We’re MG. A 96-year-old startup. Why a startup? Because we were founded in a garage called ‘Morris Garages’ in 1924 by William Morris. Today, we are a future-forward brand. In India, the MG chapter started with the launch of the MG Hector - India’s first Internet Car. Following Hector’s tremendous success, we launched the MG ZS EV - India’s first Pure electric Internet SUV. We’ve built the MG India ideology on 4 principal pillars – Innovation, Experiences, Diversity and most importantly, Communities. The MG Communities, its people and their spirit of togetherness is what defines us. Here’s the MG India family sharing their stories of MG. MG COCHIN HELLO MG! WELCOME TO MG FAMILY. Our driving experience and journey with MG Hector has been exciting and fabulous. It not only turns away our morning blues and rejuvenates us by its inbuilt internet feature and Gaana app, but also lowers our stress after a very busy day at work. And while on a long weekend outing or vacations, kids loves to feel the breeze brush against them, thanks to the panoramic sunroof. It’s spacious interiors and boot space encourages most of the proud MG owners to take night drives wherein their kids can have a nice and peaceful sleep. C. Vivek Being a travel photographer, I end up carrying more equipment than clothes on a trip.
