In 2019 our very own welding apprentice Brooke Lawford was the recipient of the prestigious FEA Apprentice of the Year Award.

As part of her prize, Brooke will attend the GulfHost trade show, Dubai in November, where Victor are exhibiting.

What Brooke had to say about winning this accolade:

”This was the most rewarding prize to receive as an apprentice!
It’s given me so many amazing opportunities that I’m looking forward to it’s also given me the chance to meet other young people in the industry.”

The FEA are now on the hunt for the next amazing apprentice:
