Seddon Apprentices nominated for top award

Last week two construction apprentices from Tameside College had the honour of being nominated for the ‘Apprentice of the Year’ Award by their employer Seddon Construction Ltd.

Sean Vickers and Jake Horoszczak, both Trowel Occupation Apprentices expressed their joy at being nominated. Sean said: “We’ve really enjoyed the awards evening, Seddon have been a fantastic company to do an apprenticeship with and I’m really pleased that I’ve been offered a permanent position with them now my apprenticeship is about to finish. Jake still has another year left so hopefully he’ll become permanent next year too.”

Apprentices from across the country attended the ceremony, with a total of six awards presented to the company’s hardworking employees. Salford and Eccles MP Hazel Blears, Mayor of Bolton Councillor Martin Donaghyand, Chief Executive of the Construction Industry Training Board (CITB) Adrian Belton all took to the stage to hand out the awards.

Training & Development Manager Tony Costello, said: "This awards ceremony is a chance to reward the hard work apprentices put in every day. They are the company’s future and without their dedication we would not be able to deliver the high standard of work Seddon is known for across the UK. Seddon have been working with Tameside College for many years now and have provided us with excellent candidates. I would definitely recommend them.”  

Alison Lambourne, Business Development Adviser at Tameside College said: "The sector is experiencing strong growth and needs young people to meet the demand for labour. Apprenticeships are a great way for young people to earn while they learn and it was fantastic to see the hard work of so many talented apprentices being celebrated here at the Seddon Awards.”
