They each won a Salters’ Institute City and Guild award under the Process Plant Operation Scheme 2018 and were presented with certificates and prize of £300 each at a ceremony in London.

Liam is currently undertaking a Level 3 apprenticeship.

He displayed excellent knowledge and skills, which were reflected in his high exam marks.

Steve Grant, managing director of TTE, said: “This is a tremendous endorsement of the quality and skills displayed by these outstanding process industry students.

“Here at TTE, we are incredibly proud of them and their impressive achievement of being named as the best in the UK.

“Liam was described by one tutor as ‘a born leader’ who not only took responsibility for himself, but positively influenced his fellow learners.

“I’d like to congratulate all three who thoroughly deserve this prestigious award after displaying a great deal of determination, effort and undoubted ability.”

The awards are run in partnership with City & Guilds and the Salters’ Institute.

The Process Plant Operation Scheme (PPO) is aimed at learners already following a modern apprenticeship programme seeking a technical certificate, or if they wish to further their career within the process technology industry.
