''I am inspired by the positive impact this industry has on the world around me. By working for a company that provides strategies to decarbonise the generation, distribution, and usage of energy, I know that every project I work on is helping work towards the UK’s net zero target.''

''Members of the management team at my place of work recommended that I go for the award as a way of recognising the hard work I have put in and progress I have made as an apprentice in the industry. I also thought the whole experience would be of huge benefit in terms of exposing myself to the industry and meeting a wider network of like minded people who share my passion for building services.''
