Titan Engineering has long supported work experience for young people and Mr Osborne's first encounter with Titan was three years ago when he spent a week with the company.
“In that time”, he said, “I realised that Titan was the type of company I would like to have a career with and when they approached me earlier this year I jumped at the chance.”
Ed Wright, managing director of Titan Engineering said: “I think this proves to the critics of the work experience scheme that it does have benefits, not only for the young people involved but for companies who provide them with experience of the work place.”
