Pupils attending the visit had expressed an interest in the digital sector, and GSPK Circuits was particularly relevant due to the company being part of a digital cluster group.
The students experienced a presentation from GSPK Circuits Operations Director, Martyn Gibson, followed by an in-depth tour around the manufacturing division, before attending a questions and answer session with key employees from the company.
Gibson said: 'As a company we are always keen to support local schools and colleges and any associated educational programmes, we hope that the pupils have enjoyed their visit and have found it to be beneficial'.
