"I'm really proud to have been nominated for this award by the VolkerTrenchless Solutions team. We recently completed the final horizontal directional drilling installation on Anglian Water’s Strategic Pipeline Alliance project, which has been a great opportunity for me to expand my knowledge of HDD and work with our Dutch partners Visser & Smit Hanab. “I have already learnt so much over the past three years of my apprenticeship and look forward to completing it in 2027.”
