Nominations for Apprentice of the Year

Oliver Dix

Said the following about Daniel Welch:

“I have nominated Dan for Apprentice of the Year as he is a great person to work with on the E & P Team and he always brings a smile to everyone's face. Firstly, Dan is one of the most hardworking people I have ever met and he has an aim to learn as much as he can. Also, Dan is always one of the first people in the office every day, ready for work and to assist people with whatever they need. Dan lives by Amey's values by always putting people first and asking everyone in the office if they would like a cup of tea. Furthermore, Dan has gone above and beyond for his colleagues by driving across the country to different sites so that we could gain more engineering experience and knowledge which I would not have gained if not for the extra time and effort that Dan had put into travelling. Another reason why Dan should be Apprentice of the Year is because we successfully carried out The Duke of Edinburgh Award Expedition which I wouldn't of been able to do if it wasn't for his positive attitude and his determination. Additionally, Dan gives up his own time by organising Football practices with work colleagues to ensure that we collaborate and get to know each other outside of work. Dan is great colleague and I couldn't imagine a better apprentice to work with.“
