CPA Safety and Training Manager Haydn Steele said: “This year’s calibre of students was exceptionally high and I am very proud to be associated with the awards scheme. Working with the colleges and tutors I am lucky enough to hear about these students first hand. It’s also excellent to see these young stars at the start of their careers in the plant industry, they really are the engineers of the future!”
