Renault Trucks has announced that Ryan Thorne from its Exeter dealerpoint is about to embark on the prestigious Master Technician programme.
Thorne, 30, has spent more than half of his life at Renault Trucks South West (Exeter), since joining on a work experience scheme for one day a week when he was 14.
He then moved on to the three-year apprenticeship scheme when he left school, becoming a fitter and latterly a workshop shift supervisor.
“The apprentice scheme has been a fantastic stepping stone for my career and being given the go-ahead to start the Master Tech programme is an absolute honour,” said Thorne (pictured).
