Following a hotly contested competition in which managers from Dodd Group's UK wide business had to nominate their best apprentices and adult trainees, the winners have been crowned.

Listed under the two divisional categories of Projects and Property Care, Wolverhampton based staff Corey Dolan, an apprentice Mechanical engineer, and Lucan Spittle, a heating engineer, picked up the prizes.

The Mayor of Wolverhampton, Councillor Elias Masih Mattu, presented the award to our winners when they recently visited Wolverhampton Council's refurbished Civic Centre, a project that Dodd Group is currently working on with Speller Metcalfe.

The competition was judged by a panel which included John Kavanagh, Dodd Group's Managing Director who commented "It is the likes of Corey and Lucan that represent the future of our industry. The national skills shortage is well documented but we believe that by encouraging such pro-active people these two into the industry we can protect our business. They should both be proud of their achievements as the standard of entries this year was particularly high and I look forward to monitoring their future progress. We employ a large number of people from the surrounding area to work both from our Wolverhampton branch and at head office in nearby Telford. By continuing to invest in local employment, training and apprenticeship schemes we are able to help build a sustainable community."
