The construction plant sector has a promising future judging by the outstanding calibre of the this year\u2019s entrants for the Stars of the Future awards hosted by the Construction Plant-hire Association (CPA)<\/a><\/h2>\n

Held in association with A-Plant<\/a>, CPA Stars of the Future identifies some of the industry\u2019s emerging talent and almost 700 plant mechanic apprentices<\/a> were eligible for the esteemed awards, representing companies across the UK from plant hire companies large and small, including well-known names such as JCB, Marubeni Komatsu, Speedy Services, Skanska UK plc, plus several independents.<\/p>\n

Now in its sixth year, this year\u2019s Stars of the Future awards ceremony was hosted at the Heart of England Conference and Events Centre in Fillongley near Coventry. The CPA welcomed over 300 apprentices, family members, college tutors and employers to the event which was also sponsored and supported by Boecker UK<\/a>, Explore Plant and Transport Services<\/a>, International Powered Access Federation (IPAF)<\/a>, JCB<\/a>, Select Plant Hire<\/a> and Snap-on Tools<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Stars of the Future is an awards scheme for apprentices in the construction<\/a> plant industry, run in conjunction with UK colleges offering plant mechanic apprentice training. This year\u2019s awards were for plant mechanic apprentices who have been assessed throughout the academic year on their work in college and in their work environment. There were a total of 19 regional winners for both NVQ Level 2 and Level 3 apprentices, plus two national winners.<\/p>\n

\"Stars<\/p>\n

National Level 2 winner Dan Pickles commented: \u201cI really didn\u2019t expect to win such a prestigious industry award and I can\u2019t thank Askham Bryan College and Charles Wilson Engineers enough for the support they have given me. I have been given the responsibility of working as a Mobile Service Engineer by my employer, which is a great position for an apprentice to be in as I work all over the country covering 18 depots nationwide. I\u2019d like to go on to become a Senior Service Engineer or Foreman in the near future but my ultimate ambition is to continue to work in this industry.\u201d<\/p>\n

National Level 3 winner Ciaran Warnes, who works for TXM Plant and attends the National Construction College said: \u201cThis award means the world to me and I wasn\u2019t expecting it at all! It just shows what you can achieve with hard work and determination. I love working with plant machinery and this accolade is great news for me personally and TXM Plant. It makes me very proud and I hope it will help my career in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kevin Minton, Chief Executive of the CPA said: \u201cThe standard of this year\u2019s Stars of the Future entries really was exceptional and the judging panel had some difficult decisions to make. Stars of the Future is one of the highlights in the CPA\u2019s calendar and we welcome the opportunity to reward and recognise some of the industry\u2019s brightest talent. It is also pleasing to see just how well some of the previous Stars of the Future winners have progressed in their careers since.\u201d<\/p>\n

The two national winners received Snap-on roll cart tool kits and the 19 regional winners won Snap-on student tool kits.<\/p>\n

When she\u2019s not working hard on cranking out first-class content for our online viewers to enjoy, she\u2019s keeping our social media lively and up to date\u2026 you could call her a social media guru? We\u2019re sure she\u2019d like that. With a BA in English and Journalism, Steph isn\u2019t fazed by attention to detail; on the contrary, she enjoys getting her teeth into a good article. In her downtime Steph loves nothing more than getting together with friends to enjoy a few (several) gin and tonics. Think you\u2019ve got some content Steph would be interested in?
