21 November 2008

A third year heating engineer apprentice at James Frew, one of Scotland’s largest independent building services companies, has been recognised in the prestigious Heating and Ventilating Contractors Association (HVCA) Awards.

David Beresford, from Saltcoats, will be presented with a runners-up prize in the Pipe Fitting Apprentice of the Year category at a ceremony in Penicuik on 3 December. The awards celebrate the industry’s outstanding achievements.

Created to promote excellence within the industry and shape the commercial environment through representation and leadership, the HVCA Awards are both highly respected and recognised as a benchmark of excellence.

Based in Stevenston, James Frew is one of only a small number of Ayrshire companies that has continued its apprentice scheme. The programme includes learning skills in either Plumbing & Heating; Maintenance Engineering; and Joinery.

Launched over 90 years ago, the company has trained over 150 apprentices, most of whom receive full time employment at the end of their training.

The apprentice programme is open to young people aged over 16 and lasts four years. The trainees receive structured training through local colleges and a nationally recognised qualification through a combination of on the job experience and day release study.

Richard Frew, Managing Director, commented:, “It’s great news that one of our apprentices has scooped this prestigious award. Modern apprenticeships are an excellent way of passing on key skills to our employees of the future, and David’s recognition proves that investment in training really does pay dividends.”
