Working hard pays off

Alex Burns, a Nescot College Plumbing Apprentice, saw his ingenuity and hard work recognised when he was awarded the John Coleman Trophy last year for overall winning apprentice at the Surrey County Scholars and Apprentices Awards.

Alex who works for Hollands Heating and Plumbing  has overcome significant obstacles with his determination to pursue his chosen route to success, the award was confirmation of the benefit of hard work and initiative.

Alex came to Hollands after being made redundant. He now routinely works late and over weekends to both complete jobs and keep the firm up to date with admin. He has also taken a big role in marketing. By enrolling the company on the CheckaTrade website, arranging for the workforce to have logoed work wear and business cards, prominently featuring the company’s status as Worcester Bosch Accredited Installers, and keeping the firm’s own website updated he has brought in more work for the company and freed his bosses to focus on more pressing concerns.
We are delighted that he is planning to return to Nescot to take his L3 next year.
