TWIN brothers Joel and Lewis Green are celebrating a double success after both of them managed to secure engineering apprenticeships.

After leaving school in 2013, the Penketh pair began studying on a full time engineering course at Riverside College in Widnes before tutors recommended them as excellent candidates for apprenticeships.

Following a two week work trial, the 16-year-old brothers were snapped up by their employers.

Mum Joy Darcey, of Shaftesbury Avenue, said: “I couldn’t wish for anything better, it’s beyond my wildest dreams.

“I can’t praise the boys and the college enough. They have been supported us all the way through.”
