Lewis Hadaway was highly commended in the Trade Apprentice category. He recently completed his training as an apprentice project controller in the Engineering Development department of Amec Foster Wheeler’s Clean Energy business.

The reports are in an easy-to-understand format and take much less effort to produce.
