AN AGRICULTURAL service technician from Barnard Castle has won an apprentice of the year award against stiff competition.
Lloyd Ltd Bishop Auckland’s Harry Fenwick took the title at Oatridge College in Livingston. The 20-year-old had just successfully completed his three-year agricultural technician apprenticeship and was surprised and delighted to receive the award ahead of the 30 other participants on the course.
He said: “I never thought that I stood a chance of getting this award as they were all great technicians on the course, some from big dealers.
“It’s a real honour to have my achievements recognised and to know that I’ve made the right decision for my career.
“I’ve been working at Lloyd Ltd throughout the three years of the course to build my practical skills and it’s great that I am starting my working life there as an agricultural service technician after all the support they have given me.”
Lloyd Ltd Bishop Auckland’s new dealer principal Alistair Whitby, who has recently been promoted from being the branch’s groundcare sales specialist for the past 15 years, has been impressed with Mr Fenwick’s skills and attitude.
He said: “Harry has been dedicated to developing his skills over the past three years so it’s no surprise to us that his progress has been recognised with this award.
“Combining on-the-job practical training with college-based learning requires focus and commitment, which Harry has constantly shown – just the kinds of skills that we require from our staff – so we had no hesitation in taking him on full-time now he is qualified.
“We wish him all the best as he begins his career with Lloyd Ltd.”
