Taylor Made is proud to sponsor The Business Magazine’s first Apprentice of the Year Award held at the Manufacturing Technology Centre at Ansty Park in Coventry.
Three one-hour guided tours were held to accommodate all the guests on a fascinating insight into the Research and Technology facilities including robotics and automation in manufacturing.
After a well-deserved lunch, finalists eagerly awaited the announcement of the winner of the award. Kate Arnott, a partner at MHA MacIntyre Hudson, one of the sponsors, introduced each finalist and outlined what impressed the judges most in their decision-making process. It had been a very difficult task to select finalists, as there had been such strong submissions in all the nominations. It was therefore decided along with the five finalists to also include a special commendation.
