An award-winner from our Key Delivery Partner (KDP), William Hare Group, thanked the support of two of our teams in helping her achieve her goals.
Liv Merriman won William Hare Group’s Office Apprentice of the Year at the firm’s annual awards ceremony.
Liv is an Assistant Quantity Surveyor, who has worked on both our Box Encapsulation Plant Product Store 2 (BEPPS2) and Replacement Analytical Project (RAP) during her fledgling career.
She said: “This award isn’t just recognition of my efforts, but also a testament to the incredible support from my team – I couldn’t have done it without them.
“I’ve spent the last year working within PPP’s core projects of RAP and BEPPS2. It’s been a massive learning curve, with every day filled with different experiences and lessons. I’ve had so much support from everyone I have worked with across both projects.”
There was more joy at the in-house awards, held at Leeds United’s Elland Road stadium. Paul Lovatt, a Lead Engineer on BEPPS2, who also worked on SRP, was presented with the Mentor of the Year award.
He said: “Being involved in our apprenticeship scheme for many years, it came as a major surprise, and acknowledgment, to receive the accolade of Mentor of the Year.
“It is with great pride to win this after nominations from both my peers and early career employees whom I work with.”
