Newport City Council apprentice Sam Shingler has been singled out for a top award.
Sam, who is employed in the Street Scene and City Services department and who won apprentice of the year with Safe and Secure Training Newport, has now been chosen from a large pool of candidates as a worthy winner of the sustainable resource management award at this year’s annual Quality Skills Alliance Apprenticeship Awards.
Sam will pick up his award at a celebration evening being held at Cardiff and Vale College’s City Centre Campus, on Thursday, March 10.
Cllr Deb Davies, cabinet member for Street Scene and City Services at Newport City Council, who will also be attending the award ceremony, said: "Many congratulations Sam. This is hugely deserved and certainly reflects how hard he works for Newport City Council. It will be an honour to attend the awards presentation."
The awards will celebrate the success of the QSA’s standout apprentices from over the past year.
More than 200 guests will attend the event including winners and their guests, partners and providers from the QSA, along with representatives from government, education and the business community of Wales and beyond, who will gather together to celebrate all the achievements of the apprentices.
