Renault Trucks UK has recognised best performers in its Advanced Apprenticeship Options Programme, at an Apprentice of the Year awards ceremony at the Dunstable head office.
The awards, during National Apprentice Week, were presented to its highest achieving apprentice technicians in each of the three years of the scheme.
The winners were: David Connor, of Renault Trucks Cardiff, for Year One; Jacob Bell, of Clugston Distribution, for Year Two; and Matthew Long, of RH Commercial Vehicles, for Year Three.
"The Awards ceremony is a great opportunity to credit the apprentices and graduates. Their enthusiasm and passion for the industry is highly commendable," says Gino Costa, managing director for Renault Trucks.
"Everyone should be proud of their efforts and what they have achieved."
The Renault Trucks Advanced Apprentice Options Programme is delivered alongside training partner Remit Group, and now has 65 apprentice technicians and 11 apprentice parts consultants.
There are six key programmes, made up of heavy vehicle technician, heavy vehicle trailer technician, parts consultant, business administration, service advisor and light/heavy commercial vehicle sales.
"The involvement of the dealer network is vital," says Karen Bailey, head of competence development at Renault Trucks UK.
"They appreciate the value of apprenticeships and are investing in the future of their staff as well as their business."
